Dealing with the aftermath of civil conflict or the fall of a repressive government continues to trouble countries throughout the world. Whereas much of the 1990s was occupied with debates concerning the relative merits of criminal prosecutions and truth commissions, by the end of the decade a consensus emerged that this either/or approach was inappropriate and unnecessary. A second generation of transitional justice experiences have stressed both truth and justice and recognize that a single method may inadequately serve societies rebuilding after conflict or dictatorship.

Based on studies in ten countries, this book analyzes how some combine multiple institutions, others experiment with community-level initiatives that draw on traditional law and culture, whilst others combine internal actions with transnational or international ones. The authors argue that transitional justice efforts must also now consider the challenges to legitimacy and local ownership emerging after external military intervention or occupation.

  • Specialists from different disciplines use extensive interviews and surveys to analyze actual experiences beyond formal academic descriptions
  • Deals with a wide geographical range of countries including Afghanistan, Iraq, Mexico, Rwanda and Sierra Leone
  • Introductory and concluding chapters trace the theory of transitional justice and evaluate the lessons learned as well as providing suggestions for future research and policy
