Great to see this paper out. Whatever sensitive topic one might tackle - whether it is war crimes, corruption or others - the phenomenon of secrecy in closed institutions is one that raises imp questions, esp. in (semi)authoritarian contexts. Congrats @lanabi.bsky.social @denisakost.bsky.social

NEW ARTICLE📢 We show how redactions in war crimes judgements obstruct transparency, prevent reckoning with past violence & highlight limits of digital data for quant analysis in TJ w/ @lanabi.bsky.social T.W.Waters @erc.europa.eu @lse-ei.bsky.social @journalgenocide.bsky.social tinyurl.com/2h2b6x79

NEW POLICY PAPER with ASPEN Germany: How parliaments model divisive discourses and what to do to advance transitional justice policy-making in the Balkans? W/ @lanabi.bsky.social & Ivor Sokolic, we draw on our @erc.europa.eu JUSTINT research to inform policy www.aspeninstitute.de/wp-content/u...

📊 Are domestic war crimes trials biased? We use Text as Data methods, using LIWC to look at judicial decisions from Serbia (1999–2019). We find conflict actor bias—paramilitary crimes are described in longer, more graphic detail, while state actors' crimes receive shorter, more neutral accounts.

NEW ARTICLE: Analysing the verdicts and the texts of judgements, we find that the state shifts responsibility away from state forces to paramilitaries in Serbian war crimes trials, with Ivor Sokolic @lanabi.bsky.social @sanjavico.bsky.social @ercresearch.bsky.social tinyurl.com/jx39z792

The Special Issue on 'Interactions for Justice' is out now! Guest Editors @denisakost.bsky.social& @sanjavico.bsky.social introduce the concept of interaction as an analytical category and empirical strategy for transitional justice research. Read & share widely. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
