By taking up the challenge of documenting how human rights values are
embedded in rule of law movements to produce a new language of
international justice that competes with a range of other formations,
this book explores how notions of justice are negotiated through
everyday micropractices and grassroots contestations of those
practices. These micropractices include speech acts that revere the
protection of international rights, citation references to treaty
documents, the brokering of human rights agendas, the rewriting of
national constitutions, demonstrations of religiosity that make
explicit the piety of religious subjects, and ritual practices of
forgiveness that involve the invocation of ancestral religious
cosmologies - all practices that detail the ways that justice is made
real.
