| | NEVER AGAIN: STRUGGLING FOR HUMANNESS |
 | | Legal justice is necessary to ensure that impunity does not become the epitaph of the postconflict period. | | | Calls for justice or reconciliation are heard from all sides of a conflict. | | | Studying the Rwandan and Guatemalan experiences together can lead to a fuller understanding of how the processes of violence, justice, reform, and reconciliation are implemented and experienced. |

| | All the victim is given is a public hearing (the court) that transforms the suffering from private to public. | | | One reading points to a basic problem of the legal system: the focus is on the relation between the Perpetrator (P) and the Law, represented by the State (S); not on the relation between P and the Victim (V). | | | When the society has reached the pathological state of anomie norms have no compelling force because there are no inner or outer sanctions (good or bad conscience, reward or punishment-- or the promise/threat thereof). |

| | However, when dealing with criminal violence, for example, viewing development as the panacea to the crime problem fails to acknowledge adequately that crime has a complex and detailed history, and that there are many different types of crime which require different solutions (NCPS, 1996). | | | A further issue is whether "knowing the truth" can in fact be transformed by the government, the TRC and civil society into a means of preventing future violence. | | | Whether reconciliation initiatives deliver on assumed promises depends upon whether the initiatives tackle the deep-rooted inequities and social imbalances at the most fundamental structural level. |

| | Structural Violence Introduction |
| | Unequal access to resources, to political power, to education, to health care, or to legal standing, are forms of structural violence. | | | Structural violence often requires police states to suppress resentments and social unrest. | | | In their chapter The War Close to Home: Children and Violence in the United States, Kathleen Kostelny and James Garbarino describe the chronic violence which children in Chicago and other urban areas of the United States endure, often paralleling that experienced by children who live in countries at war. |

| | One might also add that authoritarian or dictatorial political systems that deny individuals basic human rights, or legal protections under the law, with the right to have their case heard if they feel their rights have been abused, are further examples of structural violence in the political area. | | | Zones of peace are areas in which war between, or within, states has become increasingly unlikely, because of the multiple interdependencies between both states and nations within the zone. | | | Abuses of human rights, as documented by Amnesty International in various countries around the world, are additional examples of structural violence. |

| | Robert Gilman - Structural Violence |
| | Taxes, rentals, and the legal system were all structured to make sure that the poor stayed poor. | | | While it is heartening to see this improvement, the number of deaths is staggeringly large, dwarfing any other form of violence other than nuclear war. | | | For example, the level of structural violence is 60 times greater than the average number of battle related deaths per year since 1965 (Sivard 1982). |

| | Elizabeth Mathiot (Moen), "Attaining Justice Through Development Organizations in India" in Justice Without Violence, Eds. | | | One of the most obvious ways that the issue of structural violence was avoided or greatly diluted in the movie was that the film portrays the case as being more about strong personalities of powerful men, and the illegal or unethical decisions that these men opted to take. | | | Structural violence, or that violence which is embedded in procedures, laws, cultural norms, and bureaucratic red tape, "is as destructive and immoral as physical violence and should be avoided and loathed by those who preach nonviolence" (Mathiot 248). |

| | Violence is often defined narrowly as a physical act. | | | Namely, lack of physical violence may not constitute peace when other factors, such as oppressive racial, sexual, or class attitudes, also exist. | | | Implicit in the assumed absoluteopposition between these roles is the fact that one part of the pair, themale part, has considerable advantages over the other. |

| | Structural violence: the invisible violence in our communities |
| | The mechanisms by which structural violence operates are found in the state and its institutions. | | | Structural violence is also suggested to have a transactional relationship with other types of violence, such as interpersonal (i.e.,domestic violence and childhood sexual abuse) and intrapersonal (i.e., suicide attempts and drug overdose) violence. | | | We argue that structural violence differs from the other types of violence in that power relations within structural violence are less visible and exist in various forms infused in the existing social hierarchies. |

| | Regardless of specific levels, structural dimensions must be recognized and addressed. | | | Additionally, Derber organizes wilding behaviors into political, economic, and social categories, each of which may be expressive or instrumental. | | | It is easier and less threatening to condemn violence (morally and legally) so that we can punish it, rather than seeking its causes and working to prevent it (1996: 24). |

| | Peace Feminism in International Relations |
| | "A structurally violent situation is one in which the means for the satisfaction of basic needs, for the expression of these and for the attainment of certain rights is controlled by the group in power, removing not only power but the right to define oneself from those who are controlled." (in Turpin, 214) | | | For example, great controversy arose in Japan during the creation of the Equal Employment Opportunity Law (1986) when instead of gaining rights against oppression, women were granted an equal right to men's travesty--15-hour days, frequent transfers, and no leisure time-- in the workplace. | | | Lastly, socialist feminism adds to peace in terms of structural economic violence--claiming the "inseparability of gender and class oppression (Brock-Utne, 16)." For peace to occur, the means of production must be returned to the hands of all people. |

| | Structural Violence & the Autonomy of Morals |
| | As Jean-Paul Sartre says, we must be able to transcend the situation, and we must work to decrease the gap between present and ideal reality. | | | Structural violence may be political, repressive, economic and exploitative, it occurs when the social order directly or indirectly causes human suffering and death. | | | Take, for instance, the American civil war in 1865, where a whole culture of slavery had to be rejected; or think of the struggle against apartheid in South Africa; or those Germans under the second world war, who had the courage to struggle against the Nazi government. |

| | Direct violence occurs when one person or group inflicts harm directly on another; rape, murder, assault are examples. | | | A note on violence : Hierarchical structures are not new and they have always held within themselves the potential for violence, say, between the haves and the have-nots, the slaves and their masters, and so on. | | | Competition for place, power, sometimes even for survival, is the essence of the system. |

| | Purporting to raise issues of the violence of poverty towards women and their families - of which prostitution is a significant destroyer of human rights-the authors end up caught up in the same problem they are trying to denounce. | | | So why, when there is so much violence in prostitution, have academics adopted such a camouflaged, deceptive wording? | | | I don't see using "sex worker" as a step forward from "prostitute." If the word "prostitute" carries a stigma, the problem won't be resolved by using a language that serves to hide the violence involved in the system. |
