Victims and perpetrators in the battle for the legitimacy of terrorism

Abstract

Every peace process ends up generating a story. Unfortunately, a story is not always easy to construct. In fact, in most cases (let us not forget the end of IRA terrorism) involves a subtle and interested confrontation between perpetrators and victims. Confrontation in which the victims often end up losing and ending up in second place; a place, by the way, undeserved and to which politicians and public opinion contribute more than what is fair and necessary
