Daisy Natalia Caballero is an undergraduate student at Seton Hall University’s School of Diplomacy and International Relations. She is currently pursuing a degree in International Relations with a minor in Criminal Justice. Daisy moved to the United States in 2010 from Costa Rica.

Daisy gained interest in the Basque Country through Dr. Manojlovic, and after learning more about the region she joined the Basque Research Team. Daisy is very enthusiastic and loves learning about different cultures. Additionally, being bilingual has helped her to see the world in a different perspective. She enjoys traveling and has visited Spain and France, where she was been able to learn about their unique way of life. For these reasons, Daisy feels that being a member of the Basque Research team will allow her to expand her knowledge and give her the opportunity to educate others.

As the Srebrenica commemorations highlighted few weeks ago, it is obviously hard to deal with the past after a period of violence. Indeed, violent episodes generate storytelling clashes through the memory-making process, focusing on the need to build a pacific common space to share different sufferings and ensure a positive peace[1].
In the Basque Autonomous Community, the development of a memory-making process could be linked with a form of “post-transitional justice”[2]. This notion derives from the concept of transitional justice, which designs “the set of judicial and non-judicial measures that have been implemented by different countries in order to redress the legacies of massive human rights abuses”[3]. It is based on four pillars: the right to the truth, the right to justice, reparations and guarantees of non-recurrence. Thus the post-transitional justice deals with the implementation of these four pillars after a period of strong violence. For example, the trial in 2011 dealing with the ESMA in Argentina[4] could be analyzed as a form of post-transitional justice, as they occurred thirty years after the end of the military junta.
