b"How do you hold a government accountable for crimes it refuses to acknowledge?\\xa0\\nToday's book,\\xa0The International People's Tribunal for 1965 and the Indonesian Genocide\\xa0(Routledge, 2019)\\xa0emerges out of the International People's Tribunal for 1965.\\xa0Rooted in a longer tradition of People's Tribunals,\\xa0the IPT was an effort to remind civil society of the mass violence in Indonesia beginning in 1965 and to exert pressure on the Indonesian government and military to acknowledge the violence,\\xa0hold perpetrators accountable and provide redress for victims.\\xa0Today's guests played a prominent role in organizing and supporting the IPT.\\xa0Their book serves as something of a history of the IPT and a summary of the evidence provided.\\xa0But it also serves as kind of survey of the field at a critical moment in the study of the violence.\\nIn the interview, we talk about the IPT and its origin, organization and outcomes.\\xa0We also try to situate the IPT in the broader context of scholarship about mass violence in Indonesia.\\xa0And we talk about the interesting\\xa0role of academics as public intellectuals and activists.\\nKelly McFall is Professor of History and Director of the Honors Program at Newman University.\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
