Ethics of Political Commemoration

This book proposes a new  Ethics of Political Commemoration  adapted from the  Just War  tradition, reflecting that remembrance is often conducted with political – and even coercive – intent. With its  Ius ad Memoriam  (what to commemorate) and  Ius in Memoria  (how to commemorate) criteria, the framework looks to guide debates that are currently inchoate so that remembrance of the past can transform relationships in the present and build a shared future.
