At the start of 2014, more people were displaced globally by
conflict and human rights violations than at any time since the
Second World War. Although many of those displaced, from countries
such as Syria, Iraq, Colombia, Kenya, and Sudan, have survived
grave human rights abuses that demand redress, the links between
forced migration, justice, and reconciliation have historically
received little attention. This collection addresses the roles of
various actors including governments, UN agencies, NGOs, and
displaced persons themselves, raising complex questions about
accountability for past injustices and how to support
reconciliation in communities shaped by exile. Forced Migration,
Reconciliation, and Justice draws on a variety of disciplinary
perspectives including political science, law, anthropology, and
social work. The chapters range from case studies in countries such
as Bosnia, Cambodia, Lebanon, Turkey, East Timor, Kenya, and
Canada, to macro-level analyses of trends, interconnections, and
theoretical dilemmas. Furthermore, the authors explore the
contribution of trials and truth commissions, as well as the role
of religious practices, oral history, theatre, and social
interactions in addressing justice and reconciliation issues in
affected communities. In doing so, they provide fresh insight into
emerging debates at the centre of forced migration and transitional
justice. Exploring critical issues in political science and
development studies, this provocative collaboration unites leading
researchers, policymakers, human rights advocates, and aid workers
to examine the theoretical and practical relationships between
displacement, transitional justice, and reconciliation.
