La storia, la memoria e il diritto

Abstract

The present paper deals with the intersections between History, Memory and the Law. The emergence of human rights as a global system of protection is in part a response to the crisis of citizenship as a vehicle for rights. In the absence of a universally shared moral framework, the need to anchor legal and ethical principles in the historical context becomes pronounced. The intersection of History, Memory, and the Law thus underscores the importance of contextualizing legal and ethical frameworks within their historical and cultural milieu. Only by acknowledging the complexities of human experience and the enduring legacy of past injustices can societies hope to cultivate a more inclusive and equitable system of rights and justice
