Dealing with the aftermath of civil conflict or the fall of a
repressive government continues to trouble countries throughout the
world. Whereas much of the 1990s was occupied with debates
concerning the relative merits of criminal prosecutions and truth
commissions, by the end of the decade a consensus emerged that this
either/or approach was inappropriate and unnecessary. A second
generation of transitional justice experiences have stressed both
truth and justice and recognize that a single method may
inadequately serve societies rebuilding after conflict or
dictatorship. Based on studies in ten countries, this book analyzes
how some combine multiple institutions, others experiment with
community-level initiatives that draw on traditional law and
culture, whilst others combine internal actions with transnational
or international ones. The authors argue that transitional justice
efforts must also now consider the challenges to legitimacy and
local ownership emerging after external military intervention or
occupation.
