The space given to the testimony of survivors in judicial proceedings has been a distinctive feature of 鈥渉istorical trials鈥 since the 1961 Eichmann trial in Jerusalem, which is widely considered to have ushered in the 鈥渆ra of the witness鈥 by calling 111 Holocaust survivors to testify in court. However, my ethnography of two landmark trials for terrorism in France鈥攏amely the trial of the January 2015 attacks and the ongoing 鈥淰13鈥濃攊dentifies a shift in the part played by victims as legal witnesses through the invocation of victims鈥 鈥淧ost- Traumatic Stress Disorder鈥 (PTSD). Indeed, the new role of PTSD in the production of legal evidence raises a series of fundamental questions about the uneasy intersection of criminal justice and humanitarian law. How is criminal legislation being reshaped by personal injury law in the context of the largest criminal trials in modern French history?听
