This book explores the complicated relationship between
constitutions and transitional justice. It brings together scholars
and practitioners from different countries to analyze the
indispensable role of constitutions and constitutional courts in
the process of overcoming political injustice of the past. Issues
raised in the book include the role of a new constitution for the
successful practice of transitional justice after democratization,
revolution or civil war, and the difficulties faced by the court
while dealing with mass human rights infringements with limited
legal tools. The work also examines whether constitutionalizing
transitional justice is a better strategy for new democracies in
response to political injustice from the past. It further addresses
the complex issue of backslides of democracy and consequences of
constitutionalizing transitional justice. The group of
international authors address the interplay of the
constitution/court and transitional justice in their native
countries, along with theoretical underpinnings of the success or
unfulfilled promises of transitional justice from a comparative
perspective. The book will be a valuable resource for academics,
researchers and policy-makers working in the areas of Transitional
Justice, Comparative Constitutional Law, Human Rights Studies,
International Criminal Law, Genocide Studies, Law and Politics, and
Legal History.
