Abstract
When I agreed to participate in a workshop engaging with Philippe Sands’ extraordinary book, The Last Colony, I expected to focus on the dilemmas lawyers confront when considering how to frame the wrongs their clients endured with a view to advancing redress. Inevitably, the choices to be made elevate some dimensions of victims’ experiences while downplaying and potentially sidelining others, however important in their own right. But my plans changed when I reached page forty-one of The Last Colony.
