Clara Braungart analysiert die Rolle religiöser Nichtregierungsorganisationen (RNGOs) in der Vergangenheitsaufarbeitung. Sie untersucht RNGOs, die am IStGH und gleichzeitig auch in Kenia und Uganda tätig sind, und beschreibt ihre Position im Feld der Vergangenheitsaufarbeitung. Gleichzeitig zeigt sie, wie diese Positionen zustande kommen: Insbesondere der jeweilige Kontext und die religiöse Tradition beeinflussen die Position einer Organisation und religiöse Werte wie Versöhnung werden je nach Kontext unterschiedlich interpretiert.

Examining the involvement of religious NGOs (RNGOs) at the UN, this book explores whether they polarize political debates at the UN or facilitate agreement on policy issues. The number of RNGOs engaging with the United Nations (UN) has grown considerably in recent years: RNGOs maintain relations with various UN agencies, member-state missions, and other NGOs, and participate in UN conferences and events. This volume includes both a quantitative overview of RNGOs at the UN and qualitative analyses of specific policy issues such as international development, climate change, business and human rights, sexual and reproductive health and rights, international criminal justice, defamation of religions, and intercultural dialogue and cooperation. The contributions explore the factors that explain the RNGOs' normative positions and actions and scrutinise the assumption that religions introduce non-negotiable principles into political debate and decision-making that inevitably lead to conflict and division. Presenting original research on RNGOs and issues of global public policy, this volume will be relevant to both researchers and policy-makers in the fields of religion and international relations, the United Nations, and non-state actors and global governance.
