Restorative justice is increasingly being applied to settings
characterized by large-scale violence and human rights abuses.
While many embrace this development as an important step in
attempts to transform protracted conflict, there are a number of
conceptual challenges in transporting restorative justice from a
democratic setting to one which has been affected by mass
victimisation or civil war. These include responding to the
seriousness and scale of harms that have been caused, the blurred
boundaries between victims and offenders, and the difficulties
associated with holding someone to account and compelling
reparative activities. Despite reams of paper being devoted to
defining restorative justice within democratic settings (where the
concept first emerged), restorative scholars have been slow to
comment on the integration of restorative justice into the
transitional justice discourse. Restorative Justice in Transitional
Settings brings together a number of leading scholars from around
the world to respond to this gap by developing and further
articulating restorative justice for transitional settings. These
scholars push the boundaries of restorative justice to seek more
effective approaches to addressing the causes and consequences of
conflict and oppression in these diverse contexts. Each chapter
highlights a limitation with current conceptions of restorative
justice in the transitional justice literature and then suggests a
way in which the limitation might be overcome. This book has strong
interdisciplinary value and will be of interest to criminologists,
legal scholars, and those engaged with international relations and
peace treaties.
