ABSTRACT

In Chapter 6, each of the soft legal institutions of memory is analysed through the application of the new framework. As such, reparations on the case of Japan and Poland and international tribunals on the example of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) in regard to four cases are investigated. Regarding Japan, the focus is on both material and symbolic reparations, whereas in regard to Poland, only symbolic reparations are analysed. Then, the three ECtHR cases relating to the matters of memory investigated are Perinçek, Vasiliauskas, Drėlingas, and Janowiec.
