Transitional Justice, Judicial Accountability and the Rule of
Law addresses the importance of judicial accountability in
transitional justice processes. Despite a general consensus that
the judiciary plays an important role in contemporary governance,
accountability for the judicial role in formerly authoritarian
societies remains largely elided and under-researched. Hakeem O.
Yusuf argues that the purview of transitional justice mechanisms
should, as a matter of policy, be extended to scrutiny of the
judicial role in the past. Through a critical comparative approach
that cuts through the transitioning experiences of
post-authoritarian and post-conflict polities in Latin America,
Asia, Europe and Africa, the book focuses specifically on Nigeria.
It demonstrates that public accountability of the judiciary through
the mechanism of a truth-seeking process is a necessary component
in securing comprehensive accountability for the judicial role in
the past. Transitional Justice, Judicial Accountability and the
Rule of Law further shows that an across-the-board transformation
of state institutions - an important aspiration of transitional
processes - is virtually impossible without incorporating the third
branch of government, the judiciary, into the accountability
process.
