Lecture Announcement: Please post or forward

by Jenifer Ann Paras

Professor Kimberly Theidon of Harvard's Department of Anthropology is pleased to announce the following public lecture. Please feel free to forward the information to any interested parties. >From Theory to Reality: Reparations in Post Truth Commission Peru Lisa Laplante Research Associate with PRAXIS: An Institute for Social Justice William James Hall, Room #6 33 Kirkland Street, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA April 25, 2005, 4:00-5:30 p.m. In 2001, Peru established its Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) charged with investigating the twenty-year internal armed conflict between the State and terrorists organizations. The TRC issued its final report in 2003, and one key component was the Integral Plan of Reparations, one of the most comprehensive reparations plan to date. Reparations for serious human rights abuses serve two purposes. They compensate victims for the harm suffered as a result of the act or omission of the State, and they aim to deter future human rights violations. For that reason, reparations programs take on particular significance in post-conflict societies attempting to transition towards peace and democracy. In her talk, Lisa Laplante will discuss the legal and theoretical basis for reparations, as well as her experience is designing Peru's reparations program. She will then draw upon her legal representation of over 100 Peruvians who were unjustly imprisoned for terrorism, analyzing the complexities of seeking reparations as a measure of justice from the Peruvian state. Lisa J. Laplante is a lawyer specializing in human rights law and transitional justice. In 2002 she won funding from the International Justice Program of Notre Dame School of Law to serve as a researcher with the Peruvian Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) where she conducted a study on the experience and perceptions of victims participating in TRC public hearings as well as assisted in the development of the TRC's Integral Plan of Reparations. Currently she is a Research Associate with PRAXIS: An Institute for Social Justice and is based in Peru as the project director of the studies "The Enforceability of the Right to Mental Health for Victims of Peru's Internal Armed Conflict" and "When the Truth is Not Enough: The Politics of Reparations n Post-Truth Commission Peru." -- Jenifer Paras Staff Assistant to Professor Kimberly Theidon Harvard University Department of Anthropology William James Hall 33 Kirkland Street Cambridge, MA 02138 Tel: 617-496-5259 Fax: 617-496-8355
