International Conference
„ How to deal with a Burdened Past? - Asian Experiences “
20th April 2006, Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung Berlin
In the recent past, many Asian countries experienced violent internal
and external conflicts which have had deep impacts on the societies
concerned. It is therefore necessary that every country deals with the
past injustices and violent acts. It could be regarded as essential that
a „healing process“ will be initiated. Nevertheless, such demands
constitute one of the greatest challenges to the creation of sustainable
and peaceful societies.
Approaches to these ‘shadows’ of the past vary according to specific
circumstances. Coming to terms with the past could be achieved by
teaching and discussing the states’ history or past injustices in
schools or memorials. Additionally, states have the opportunity to
establish institutions, such as tribunals or truth and reconciliation
commissions.
The international conference on April 20th will start with an opening
speech to give a general overview about the topic. How can the terms
„dealing with the past” or „coming to terms with the past“ be defined?
Why is it necessary to come to terms with the past and which condi-tions
have to be present? When a society tries to deal with the past, which
impact could it have on the post-conflict situation and democratization
process.
After the opening speech, participants from four Asian countries will
discuss what kind of processes were or will be initiated to come to
terms with the burdened past. Which positive or negative impacts did
those approaches have? Furthermore, has the international community
capacities to support such initiatives? If yes, what kind of actions
should the international community take to ensure a peaceful and
democratic society?
We would like to invite you to participate with Asian and German experts
in the conference. Please send back the registration form until April
13, 2006.
