Final Acts: A Guide to Preserving the Records of Truth Commissions
Jul 07, 2011Final Acts is a guide to questions of law, politics, physical preservation, and access regarding materials generated by truth commissions. For example, how do the records relate to the law that created the commission? Who owns the evidence? Are there political constraints on the preservation of, or access to, some records?

Final Acts also describes the truth commissions that have completed their work so far and the disposition, or in some cases the loss, of their records.

Is EITI Another Western Agenda?
Jul 07, 2011Experience has increasingly shown that the abundance of natural resources does not necessarily produce rapid development in countries where they are found. Instead, paradoxically, they all too often produce
poverty, conflict and corruption whose consequences become increasingly widespread and impact development, not only in the country in question, but more broadly in an interconnected world. The
rapidly globalizing world means that these consequences transcend boundaries and threaten stability of both the developed and developing world. It is therefore common sense that a search for the reversal of
this disturbing trend becomes a global collective. more
