Abstract 

This book results from fascinating discussions triggered by the interdisciplinary seminars launched by Professor Hélène Ruiz Fabri at the Max Planck Institute Luxembourg for Procedural Law. The general theme of these seminars concerned the scope and limits of various procedures put in place to give ‘some kind of justice’ to victims. Despite the diversity of disciplines and topics, most analyses questioned multiple ways to ‘re-present’ absent generations and move forward. Some were devoted to past generations, while others dealt with future generations. This led to the idea of focusing on the dimension of absence and ‘re-presentation’.
