Research Information Paper 9
Human Rights
Introduction
The preservation of archival
material related to human rights violations serves a far more important
purpose than the mere storage of information for scientific purposes.
Education and scholarly research are, no doubt, means by which serious
breaches of basic human rights, and the factors generating them, can be
examined and possibly understood. But just as vital, if not more so, is
the question of accountability: the need for those who commit such acts to
be held responsible for what they did. The international courts, truth and
reconciliation commissions and other similar organizations base their work
on evidence and on well-kept and available documentation. It would be an
inexcusably generous gesture towards perpetrators to let this evidence
sink into oblivion.
Understanding the archival
imperative to preserve human rights records, OSA extended its initial
mission in order to enhance awareness, documentation and education about
ethnic conflicts, war crimes, genocide and identity restoration. In line
with its acquisition policy, OSA works in close cooperation with various
human rights organizations, NGOs and individuals to identify and acquire
collections whose preservation is of the utmost importance. Furthermore,
OSA envisages becoming a major regional influence on the formulation of
information policies with respect to freedom of expression and rights to
information.
Accordingly, OSAs holdings
have more than doubled since the year of its foundation, and now embrace
materials relating to human rights movements and issues, informational
rights and various contemporary policy issues, to which the meticulously
compiled thematic finding aid on the following pages is intended to give
guidance. Nevertheless, materials dealing with related or overlapping
topics such as freedom of religion, environmental rights and protection,
censored and banned artists, Roma issues, forced labor, minority rights,
etc. have not been included here, since they either figure in previous
issues of our Reference Information Papers (RIP) series or are likely
topics for forthcoming ones. [For more information on the Reference
Information Papers see
www.osa.ceu.hu/publications]
OSA holds further collections, which for various reasons (involving
processing status and the establishment of terms of access and
restriction) do not yet figure on its fonds list. Of primary importance
are the records pertaining to the Bosnia Project of the Physicians for
Human Rights, a Boston-based human rights organization that conducted mass
grave exhumations in Bosnia between 1996 and 1999 and deposited the
accumulated documentation (forensic reports, memos, correspondence and
photographs totaling 13 linear meters) with us. A very recent acquisition
is the collection of the journalist David Rohde, who conducted on-site
investigations in the Srebrenica area and was the first to report on the
massacre in a series of articles that brought him the Pulitzer Prize in
1996. The background materials he gathered include mission files,
notebooks, testimonies, correspondence and also audiovisual material.
Finally, a few words about accruals and projects for the near future. The
International Monitor Institute, whose mission was to identify and acquire
(audio) visual “evidence of human rights violations and the circumstances
that produce them”, is closing down its Archives and decided to donate its
immense video-collection (more than 3,000 items) to OSA. Later on this
fall, in cooperation with the Martus Project of the Benetech Initiative,
OSA will set up and operate a server for hosting encrypted information
prepared and sent by human rights organizations working in dangerous
environment under difficult conditions.
