Humphrey en dr oits de la personne\, qui sera prononcée cette année par Steven Ratner\, t itulaire de la Chaire Bruno Simma Collegiate Professor of Law à l'École de droit de l'Université du Michigan. Résumé (En anglais seulement) The UN 's engagement with holding individuals accountable for human rights atroci ties is barely twenty years old.  Although much attention has been given t o the UN's creation of international criminal tribunals for Yugoslavia\, R wanda\, and other places\, accountability is a far more complex process of which criminal justice is only one part.  In considering its involvement in a post-tribunal era\, the UN needs to focus its efforts on those proces ses where it has a comparative advantage to offer governments dealing with past atrocities as well as survivors.  The UN's role in fact-finding and investigation is a particularly promising avenue for the organization to p ursue.   In developing a strategy for the future\, it is important to ask whether and why the UN should be involved in accountability\, what conditi ons are necessary for successful UN involvement\, and how the UN can avoid certain pitfalls along the way.
