JUSTTICE – Justice Under Strain and Tutelage: Trials in Istanbul, Challenge & Emotions to International Law (1919–1920)
Start a new DMP in Loading
This project reinterprets the 1920 Istanbul Military Tribunals as a foundational yet overlooked moment in the emergence of international criminal law. Drawing on Ottoman legal records, diplomatic archives, and press sources, it examines how law, emotion, and sovereignty were performatively negotiated after mass violence, and shows how collective affects shaped perceptions of justice and legal legitimacy. By highlighting non-Western experiences as well as the historical and emotional dimensions of law, the project offers an innovative interdisciplinary approach to transitional justice; one that can inform memory work and support the pursuit of sustainable peace.
