Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: The development of international law and the advancement of human rights have been overshadowed by the sanctified dominance of power politics. Yet, moralpolitik has been in ascendance since Nuremberg, considering the revived interest in human rights at the end of the Cold War, and culminating in the recent establishment of the International Criminal Court. It is surprising scholars in International Relations and associated fields have not taken advantage of this timely retreat of power politics to question the shortcomings of the dominant schools of thought in their relevance to building just order and lasting peace. Focusing on the theoretical and practical problems of the apology and reconciliation regime, this paper advocates a radical departure from the prevailing paradigm that is predicated upon a state-centric international system. The dominant paradigm has too often failed to resolve the persistent conflicts between justice/peace and realpolitik. Unlike the state-centric apology process in which the deputies of the state purport to be its moral agents, the new ethic of apology bridges the spatial and temporal distance between perpetrators, victims and the events of mass violence. Participants in such a process identify horizontally with each other putting into relief the role of empathy in motivating desire to care for each other. Such an approach overcomes the inherent conflict between the universal norms of reconciliation, which generate new ethical sensibilities, and the established habits of state sovereignties.
