"In this innovative study, Lea David critically investigates the relationship between
human rights and memory, suggesting that, instead of understanding human rights in
a normative fashion, human rights should be treated as an ideology. Conceptualizing
human rights as an ideology gives us useful theoretical and methodological tools to
recognize the real impact human rights has on the ground. David traces the rise of
the global phenomenon that is the human rights memorialization agenda, termed 'Moral
Remembrance', and explores what happens once this agenda becomes implemented. Based
on evidence from the Western Balkans and Israel/Palestine, she argues that the human
rights memorialization agenda does not lead to a better appreciation of human rights
but, contrary to what would be expected, it merely serves to strengthen national sentiments,
divisions and animosities along ethnic lines, and leads to the new forms of societal
inequalities that are closely connected to different forms of corruptions."
