Transitional justice is a burgeoning field of scholarly inquiry.
Yet while the transitional justice literature is replete with
claims about the benefits of criminal trials, too often these
claims lack an empirical basis and hence remain unproven. While
there has been much discussion about whether criminal trials can
aid reconciliation, the extent to which they actually do so in
practice remains under-explored. This book investigates the
relationship between criminal trials and reconciliation, through a
particular focus on the International Criminal Tribunal for the
former Yugoslavia (ICTY). Using detailed empirical data - in the
form of qualitative interviews and observations from five years of
fieldwork - to assess and analyze the ICTY's impact on
reconciliation in Bosnia-Hercegovina, Croatia and Kosovo,
International Trials and Reconciliation: Assessing the Impact of
the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia
argues that reconciliation is not a realistic aim for a criminal
court. They are, Janine Clark argues, only one part of a rich
tapestry of justice, which must also include non-retributive
transitional justice processes and mechanisms. Challenging many of
the common yet untested assumptions about the benefits of criminal
trials, this innovative and extremely timely monograph will be
invaluable for those with interests in the theory and practice of
transitional justice.
