Abstract

This paper examines the contestation over human rights norms between Acholi traditional authorities and everyday realities on the one hand, and international peacebuilding actors on the other. Within this contestation, the focus is on women’s and children’s rights. When implementing human rights programmes, some international peacebuilding actors presented culture and rights as conflictual and attributed human rights violations to culture. This created tension between Acholi traditional authorities and everyday realities on the one hand, and international peacebuilding actors on the other. The paper argues that Acholi traditional authorities responded to the ‘assault’ on Acholi cultural values by presenting alternative narratives of human rights violations, to show that culture and rights overlap and are not conflictual.

乌干达北部阿乔利的国际和平建设和地方人权观念争论

摘要

本文一方面考察了 Acholi 传统权威和日常现实之间对人权规范的争论,另一方面考察了国际建设和平行动者之间的争论。在这场争论中,重点是妇女和儿童的权利。在实施人权方案时,一些国际建设和平行动者将文化和权利视为冲突,并将侵犯人权归咎于文化。这一方面造成了 Acholi 传统权威与日常现实之间的紧张关系,另一方面造成了国际建设和平参与者之间的紧张关系。该论文认为,Acholi 传统权威通过呈现侵​​犯人权的替代叙述来回应对 Acholi 文化价值观的“攻击”,以表明文化和权利重叠而不是冲突。
