Through war crimes prosecutions, truth commissions, purges of
perpetrators, reparations, and memorials, transitional justice
practices work under the assumptions that truth telling leads to
reconciliation, prosecutions bring closure, and justice prevents
the recurrence of violence. But when local responses to
transitional justice destabilize these assumptions, the result can
be a troubling disconnection between international norms and
survivors' priorities.
"Localizing Transitional Justice" traces how ordinary people
respond to--and sometimes transform--transitional justice
mechanisms, laying a foundation for more locally responsive
approaches to social reconstruction after mass violence and
egregious human rights violations. Recasting understandings of
culture and locality prevalent in international justice, this vital
book explores the complex, unpredictable, and unequal encounter
among international legal norms, transitional justice mechanisms,
national agendas, and local priorities and practices.
