ABSTRACT

Throughout the course of this third part of the thesis, nine different examples of legal institutions of memory were analysed in ten case studies. These intersections opened up a space for not only a general comparative engagement, uncovering, for example, a similar relationship with history, memory, and identity in Portugal and in Poland, but also for a specific one with regard to four institutions: symbolic reparations (Japan and Poland), international tribunals (ECtHR with regard to Swiss, Lithuanian, and Polish cases), lustration (Iraq and Poland), and memory legislation (Rwanda and Poland).
