Gender and Transitional Justice provides the first comprehensive
feminist analysis of the role of international law in formal
transitional justice mechanisms. Using East Timor as a case study,
it offers reflections on transitional justice administered by a UN
transitional administration. Often presented as a UN success story,
the author demonstrates that, in spite of women and children's
rights programmes of the UN and other donors, justice for women has
deteriorated in post-conflict Timor, and violence has remained a
constant in their lives. This book provides a gendered analysis of
transitional justice as a discipline. It is also one of the first
studies to offer a comprehensive case study of how women engaged in
the whole range of transitional mechanisms in a post-conflict
state, i.e. domestic trials, internationalised trials and truth
commissions. The book reveals the political dynamics in a
post-conflict setting around gender and questions of justice, and
reframes of the meanings of success and failure of international
interventions in the light of them.
