This book seeks to refine our understanding of transitional justice
and peacebuilding, and long-term security and reintegration
challenges after violent conflicts. As recent events following
political change during the so-called 'Arab Spring' demonstrate,
demands for accountability often follow or attend conflict and
political transition. While traditionally much literature and many
practitioners highlighted tensions between peacebuilding and
justice, recent research and practice demonstrates a turn away from
the supposed 'peace vs justice' dilemma. This volume examines the
complex relationship between peacebuilding and transitional justice
through the lenses of the increased emphasis on victim-centred
approaches to justice and the widespread practices of disarmament,
demobilization, and reintegration (DDR) of excombatants. While
recent volumes have sought to address either DDR or victim-centred
approaches to justice, none has sought to make connections between
the two, much less to place them in the larger context of the
increasing linkages between transitional justice and peacebuilding.
This book will be of great interest to students of transitional
justice, peacebuilding, human rights, war and conflict studies,
security studies and IR.
Truth commission recommendations are critical to their legacies,
yet there is little research examining their fates. Based on
fieldwork that is unprecedented in scope, this double-volume
project provides the first systematic study of the formulation and
implementation of the recommendations of 13 Latin American truth
commissions.Beyond Words Vol. I examines the variations in truth
commission recommendations across 13 Latin American cases. Insights
are provided regarding how the internal dynamics of truth
commissions, as well as the political, social and economic context
in which they operate, influence how recommendations are
formulated. The authors then explore how the nature of these
recommendations themselves, along with the aforementioned factors,
influence which recommendations are actually implemented. The
conclusion considers the findings' relevance for the crafting of
future truth commission recommendations and reflects upon how the
formulation and implementation of these recommendations shape the
impact of truth commissions on societies emerging from periods of
violence and repression.Beyond Words Vol. II is a unique collection
of 11 Latin American country studies covering all 13 formal truth
commissions established in this region that submitted their final
reports between 1984 and 2014. Based on qualitative original data
and a common analytical framework, the main focus of each of the
country chapters is threefold: (1) to provide a brief background to
the truth commission(s); (2) to provide a detailed account of the
formulation of the truth commission's recommendations; and (3) to
analyze the implementation record of the recommendations, taking
into account the actors and factors that have aided or obstructed
the implementation process.
This book seeks to refine our understanding of transitional justice
and peacebuilding, and long-term security and reintegration
challenges after violent conflicts. As recent events following
political change during the so-called 'Arab Spring' demonstrate,
demands for accountability often follow or attend conflict and
political transition. While, traditionally, much literature and
many practitioners highlighted tensions between peacebuilding and
justice, recent research and practice demonstrates a turn away from
the supposed 'peace vs justice' dilemma. This volume examines the
complex, often contradictory but sometimes complementary
relationship between peacebuilding and transitional justice through
the lenses of the increased emphasis on victim-centred approaches
to justice and the widespread practices of disarmament,
demobilization, and reintegration (DDR) of excombatants. While
recent volumes have sought to address either DDR or victim-centred

This book addresses current developments in transitional justice in
Latin America - effectively the first region to undergo
concentrated transitional justice experiences in modern times.
Using a comparative approach, it examines trajectories in truth,
justice, reparations, and amnesties in countries emerging from
periods of massive violations of human rights and humanitarian law.
The book examines the cases of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia,
Guatemala, El Salvador, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay, developing and
applying a common analytical framework to provide a systematic,
qualitative and comparative analysis of their transitional justice
experiences. More specifically, the book investigates to what
extent there has been a shift from impunity towards accountability
for past human rights violations in Latin America. Using 'thick',
but structured, narratives - which allow patterns to emerge, rather
than being imposed - the book assesses how the quality, timing and
sequencing of transitional justice mechanisms, along with the
context in which they appear, have mattered for the nature and
impact of transitional justice processes in the region. Offering a
new approach to assessing transitional justice, and challenging
many assumptions in the established literature, this book will be
of enormous benefit to scholars and others working in this area.
