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.
