▼ This manuscript documents the findings from my fieldwork in Rwanda exploring stakeholder perceptions of the process and outcomes of the genocide court system known locally as Gacaca. In total, 57 judges, perpetrators, and local observers were interviewed and asked about their perspectives on the court’s procedural fairness, accomplishments, and legacy. Results from this study indicate that although some procedural characteristics of Gacaca benefitted court participants, these benefits were compromised by the burden placed on stakeholders and procedural shortcomings manifested by imbalanced power structures within communities. Respondents noted that procedural safeguards were particularly limited by the corruption of judges and witnesses that became more prevalent as the Gacaca process wore on. Respondents’ perceptions about personal
justice-related accomplishments were also linked to thoughts on procedural
justice. Additionally, survivors explained that they had hoped that the Gacaca courts would help them move on from past trauma but this was not always the case. Respondents also noted that participation in Gacaca may have discouraged healing and reconciliation when corruption or procedural irregularities were witnessed. Despite more than ten years of trials, many survivors are still coping with the violence that occurred in 1994. This work also discusses perceptions on the legacy of Rwanda’s genocide courts pertaining to reconciliation and hope for the future.

▼ This dissertation project develops a theoretical understanding of how truth commissions achieve legitimacy and thus contribute to peace and stability in the aftermath of major traumatic events (e.g. civil war, mass killings, regime changes). I identify three components of truth commission legitimacy – authority, fairness, and transparency – that facilitate beneficial outcomes for societies emerging from a period of severe human rights repression or civil war. I theorize and test how institutions with these legitimacy characteristics contribute to an increase in respect for human rights and decrease political violence in transitioning societies, thus contributing to peace and stability. In order to test the hypothesized relationships, I create a truth commission characteristic dataset that provides greater detail than existing datasets. This project is a contribution to our understanding of the relationships between human rights, institutions, conflict, and international law. It provides one explanation for the inconsistent findings of extant work concerning the impact of
transitional justice, generally and truth commissions, specifically. I provide evidence that there are identifiable "best practices" that truth commissions should consider adopting. This information can assist states, intergovernmental organizations, and nongovernmental organizations alike in making difficult decisions regarding the
transitional justice process, which is expensive and time consuming further necessitating an understanding of what practices are most crucial for achieving peace and stability.

▼ International development agencies have provided significant support for transitional justice in Guatemala, Kenya and Solomon Islands, though only limited analysis has been conducted. Responding to this knowledge gap, the thesis critically assesses how international development agencies have engaged with transitional justice in the three countries. It addresses the question of what constitutes effective transitional justice aid. It argues that transitional justice is required under international law and is important for the healing of countries, communities and individuals afflicted by atrocity. In developing countries reeling from egregious human rights abuses, the international aid community may play a role in aiding and shaping the success of transitional justice. The study presents evidence showing how effective aid may enhance the success, or effectiveness, of transitional justice. Equally, ineffective aid may hinder its success. The thesis identifies ways to improve transitional justice aid. While the analysis explores a variety of factors, four elements are crucial. First, transitional justice aid should be imbued with human rights principles. Second, it should be contextually specific and locally particular. Third and relatedly, it should be relevant to the political context and include politically informed methods. Fourth, aid agencies should seek to influence transitional justice processes to promote gender equality and respond more effectively to cases involving sexual and gender-based violence. The thesis features a comparative study of transitional justice aid in Guatemala, Kenya and Solomon Islands; the research design features empirical, socio-legal fieldwork in the three case study countries. In the three countries, episodes of violence and conflict have resulted in gross human rights violations. To deal with the past, Guatemala, Kenya and Solomon Islands have implemented transitional justice mechanisms, with varying degrees of success. The thesis finds that overall in the three case study countries, international development agencies have struggled to engage effectively with transitional justice itself or leverage transitional justice in support of broader development outcomes.

▼ Post conflict justice is a concept that has in the last two decades gained notoriety and support across the world. The commitment by states to fight impunity by embracing accountability measures has increasingly gained support. This however, was not always the case. Before the 1980s the approach by most of the world was to turn a blind eye to serious violations committed during wars, insurgencies and serious conflict. This was done in the name of respecting state sovereignty, where other states were required to respect the conflict state by not intervening irrespective of egregious violations being committed to mankind. The tide eventually changed and many states have adopted numerous instruments as a sign of their commitment to fight impunity and bring accountability to the perpetrators of serious conflict. African states embraced this development, in 1998 during the Rome conference where the Rome Statute for the International Criminal Court was adopted. African states participated in large numbers during the negotiations. Subsequently, African states signed and adopted the Statute overwhelmingly. To date, 33 African States have ratified the Rome Statute making Africa the most represented region in the Rome Statute system. With Africa's share of countless conflicts, where serious human rights violations have been violated, post conflict justice is increasingly a reality in Africa. The application of post conflict justice is an emerging and ever evolving field in Africa. The implementation of post conflict justice has been the center of contested debates. These debates have in the recent past become more pronounced especially where international intervention has been applied in assisting African post conflict societies to deal with the past and bring accountability. The impact that the accountability mechanisms play in restoring a post conflict society has been overshadowed by these debates. This study therefore seeks to provide a balanced discussion on the role that the accountability mechanisms can play in African post conflict societies. The study gives an overview of the evolution of post conflict justice and also looks into the different post conflict justice approaches adopted by African countries and their potential role in accountability and societal healing. The empirical cases of South Africa and Kenya are analysed in the study as practical examples of the application of post conflict justice approaches. The impact of the accountability mechanisms adopted is also discussed. The unique role that the African Union plays in fighting impunity in the continent is also discussed and the impact of positions taken by the continental body on accountability in post conflict countries is analysed. In the end the study seeks to establish the growing pattern in Africa in dealing with post conflict situations and recommendations are made in the final chapter on how to improve the general approach by Africa to eradicate the culture of impunity for serious crimes committed in the continent.

▼ What constitutes successful reconciliation
and how do I know it when I see it? Under what conditions do
societies achieve reconciliation after civil war and autocratic
rule? To answer these important questions, I created the
Coexistence Dataset and categorized 172 “coexistent periods”
according to four distinct levels of societal relationship. I
evaluate each period over 10 years and find that high levels of
societal reconciliation are uncommon, occurring in only 27% of
cases. To achieve genuine reconciliation (and not
merely the absence of conflict or autocratic rule),
justice is
critical –
justice that holds perpetrators accountable and restores
victims. When implemented well, such
justice translates into trust
and reconciliation between groups, even in deeply divided
societies. Using a configurational approach to
account for the interactions of
justice practices with background
conditions, I find that there are many different paths that
consistently result in reconciliation. When background conditions
are favorable, the implementation of
justice practices that restore
victims virtually guarantees a country will reach high levels of
societal reconciliation. When conditions are not so favorable –
such as when the state is weak, or the society is deeply divided,
or both – reconciliation is more difficult but still possible. In
these “difficult cases” international intervention, an active civil
society, and balanced
justice practices are critical. The aftermath
of the civil war in Sierra Leone and the management of the Basque
conflict in Spain illuminate the challenges and pitfalls of
reconciling societies when the state is weak and when the society
is deeply divided. Both cases and the findings from across the
Coexistence Dataset contain important lessons for future
policymakers interested in reconciling societies after conflict and
autocratic rule.

▼ In Nepal vond tussen 1996 en 2006 een conflict tussen maoïstische rebellen en de Nepalese staat plaats. In de Comprehensive Peace Agreement dat een einde moest maken aan het conflict beloofden de maoïsten en de Nepalese regering de oprichting van een Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). Deze scriptie gaat in op de vraag waarom de TRC tot op heden niet is opgericht. Het uitblijven van de commissie is deels te wijten aan het feit dat de maoïsten, die nu in de regering zitten, en politici uit andere partijen, geen belang hebben bij onderzoek naar mensenrechtenschendingen door een TRC, omdat zij aanzet hebben gegeven tot schendingen. Zij hanteren een politiek van ‘pappen en nathouden’: de wetten voor de TRC liggen klaar maar ze gaan niet over tot actie.
Verder oefent de internationale gemeenschap weinig druk uit op de Nepalese regering om de commissie te realiseren. Dit heeft te maken met de reden waarom de commissie is beloofd. De maoïsten en de regering zagen de TRC namelijk vooral als vehikel om een amnestiebepaling te legitimeren. Amnestie is de afgelopen jaren steeds meer omstreden geworden. De oprichting het Internationaal Strafhof en verschillende ad hoc tribunalen in de jaren negentig gelden als precedent om oorlogsmisdadigers te straffen. Bovendien heeft de VN verschillende documenten uitgevaardigd die door mensenrechtenactivisten worden gezien als onderdeel van het internationaal recht. De VN, die van 2005 tot 2011 een mensenrechtenmissie (uitgaande van de OHCHR, Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights) in Nepal had gevestigd, wilde de wetgeving voor de TRC, zoals de Nepalese regering deze heeft opgesteld, niet steunen. De OHCHR wilde alleen een TRC steunen die straffen in de toekomst niet zou uitsluiten. Als de OHCHR een mechanisme steunt dat kan aanzetten tot amnestie, verliest de organisatie zijn geloofwaardigheid als voorvechter van de mensenrechten.

▼ Transitional justice plays a central role in helping nations move forward in post-conflict periods in which nations have suffered from mass violence and other atrocities. Moreover, educating youth on the past is necessary in order to work towards reconciliation and preventing the reoccurrence of atrocities. By presenting a comparative study of two countries that have gone through the same type of horrific violence, this thesis will examine the
transitional justice approaches adopted in the field of education Cambodia and Rwanda, whereby it will conclude which one has promoted the most effective way of dealing with the past. According to International Centre for
Transitional Justice (2018), the aims of
transitional justice is ‘the recognition of the dignity of individuals, the redress and acknowledgment of violations and the aim to prevent them happening again.’ Thus, I argue that education plays a crucial role in
transitional justice, and is not only important in teaching youth about a country’s history, but schools also help shape politics and create intergroup relations. The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the research on the relationship between
transitional justice and education. By presenting two case studies, I will analyse which one of the two approaches in education has proven more successful as a mechanism of
transitional justice. Lastly, I will conclude with a summary of the findings and give further recommendations.

Transitional justice and displacement: lessons from Liberia and Afghanistan

▼ Forced displacement of people is one of the most complex
humanitarian problems facing the international community.
Long-term forced displacement generates a range of political,
security and humanitarian concerns including regional
instability, transnational crime and a regression in the quality
of life for both refugees and their host communities. Grappling
with this issue, scholars and practitioners have turned to the
field of transitional justice as a possible source of solutions.
Transitional justice refers to the set of mechanisms societies
use to respond to a history of atrocities, including criminal
trials, truth commissions and reparation programs. Scholars
describe the potential for these mechanisms to respond to the
justice needs of refugees, thereby improving prospects for their
repatriation, and contributing to the success of their
reintegration after return.
To date, the interaction between transitional justice and
refugees has had three main features. The first is an almost
exclusive use of a legal framework of human rights to structure
the interaction between refugees and transitional justice. This
means that the law determines the understanding of the harm
refugees suffer, as well as the methods by which that harm might
be repaired. Second, the existing approach focuses on state-led
mechanisms of transitional justice, with limited engagement with
local or customary approaches to achieving justice for refugees,
and little acknowledgment of refugee voices. And finally,
scholars and practitioners describe the ultimate goal of the
interaction between transitional justice and refugees as refugee
return.
There is little empirical work examining the standard approach to
the interaction between transitional justice and refugees. My
thesis addresses this gap, offering two case studies: Liberia and
Afghanistan. Through these case studies, I scrutinise the claims
of the existing scholarship, and compare those claims with the
lived experience of refugees. Overall, my findings suggest that
transitional justice as conventionally understood is often
ill-equipped to support the justice outcomes that refugees seek.
In particular, I demonstrate how the dominance of law and the
influence of the transitional state restricted the ways that
Liberian and Afghan refugees were able to engage with
transitional justice processes. Based on refugee perspectives of
harm, accountability and reparations, I propose an alternate
understanding of the objective of refugee engagement in
transitional justice: that of rebuilding the state-citizen
relationship. This understanding more closely aligns with the
justice outcomes refugees in Liberia and Afghanistan hoped to
achieve, and suggests that repair of displacement may take place
in the absence of physical return, and in forums other than those
…

▼ Memorialisation has become a mainstream feature of transitional justice in recent decades; one that is oft assumed to contribute to healing in post-conflict societies. While a relationship between the two phenomena arguably exists, little research has been carried out to identify causal mechanisms or explain why some forms of memorialisation lead to enhanced levels of healing while others do not. By combining the fields of political psychology, memory studies and peace and conflict research, this study develops a theoretical framework to better evaluate the impact of memorialisation on individual healing. A simple typology of passive and active memorialisation is developed, from which I argue that initiatives that are more active in nature will lead to greater levels of individual healing. The hypothesis is empirically tested through in-depth interviews conducted with survivors of the Cambodian genocide who have engaged in memorialisation efforts. The main findings support the hypothesis, revealing that passive initiatives possess limited healing benefits and can only be expected to contribute to low-levels of recovery. In contrast, active memorialisation is found to host a greater range of healing mechanisms, as they engage individuals socially and psychologically and thereby contribute to deeper healing needs.

▼ Martha Minow argues that among the goals that a
transitional justice system should
pursue, reconciliation is equally as important as truth and
justice. This is why in her view
– and others who have argued similar lines – Truth and Reconciliation Commissions are
not a “second best option” to trials. I argue that if we are to accept that reconciliation is a
valuable goal, then the practical reality of pursuing reconciliation dictates a need to
understand perpetrators in greater depth. This is because unlike truth and
justice,
reconciliation cannot be forced. Constructive participation is the only way that
reconciliation can be achieved. In order to promote constructive participation, I argue
that theorists need to do further research into what I call “perpetrator requirements”: the
requirements that make perpetrators participate, and participate constructively. To do so,
theorists should use an interdisciplinary approach, utilizing research from psychology,
anthropology, political science, philosophy, and law.

▼ Why do some state apologies that address past
atrocities succeed at bringing about reconciliation while others
fail? Under what conditions would the recipients of apologies find
them satisfactory and acceptable? In order to close the gaps
between theory and practice regarding the efficacy of state
apology, I identify and test four causal factors that can affect
victims’ reception of state apologies. These factors are: the
manner in which expressions of apology are made (who speaks what,
when, where, and how), behavioral consistency of the apologizer,
conspicuous opportunism of the apologizer, and prior communicative
interactions. I conduct mixed-methods research that incorporates
Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) and in-depth case studies,
using primary sources such as media reports, government statements,
organizational reports, and in-depth interviews. By assessing
whether and how certain features of an apology affect its
reception, this research aims to introduce cross-case empirical
analyses and a new dataset on state apologies that could be shared
and used for future research on apology and
reconciliation.

▼ In the past several years, the transitional justice literature has generated theories concerning varying human rights accountability outcomes in states transitioning from authoritarianism and violent conflict. Most of these theories are based on transition and post-conflict dynamics. However, a subset of these cases, democracies that have experienced internal conflict, cannot accurately be explained by these theories. Human rights trials and truth-seeking measures are overwhelmingly conducted during the violence in conflicted democracies, thus it is not appropriate to theorize accountability outcomes in these cases based on transition or post-conflict dynamics. Yet, these cases continue to be included in large N datasets and research that formulates explanations on why some countries implement accountability mechanisms while others do not. I assert that it is necessary to consider these cases in a different light. Drawing on fieldwork conducted in Sri Lanka, Northern Ireland and Spain, I argue that the causal mechanisms that shaped prosecutions and truth-seeking measures in these cases were rooted in the pre-conflict milieu. Vertical, horizontal and external relations of accountability, including political competition, civil society pressure, judicial independence and pressure from international institutions, prompted accountability mechanisms in all three countries. The variation across the cases in terms of the prosecution record and the use of truth-seeking measures is explained by the extent to which these relations of accountability were available and operating efficiently prior to the conflict. The efficiency of these relations, in turn, was shaped by the presence/absence of entrenched emergency laws.

▼ This dissertation examines the intersections between conflict-related sexual violence against men and transitional justice processes in Northern Uganda. Although maledirected sexual violence during conflict is committed more frequently than assumed, the dynamics of these crimes and male survivors' experiences remain notoriously under-explored. The marginalization of male-directed sexual violence is particularly evident in relation to transitional justice. Drawing on new empirical data, derived from seven months of field research, this thesis thereby constitutes the first-ever systematic and empirically-driven examination of how male survivors of sexual violence in Northern Uganda conceptualize justice, thereby illuminating the seldomheard voices and experiences of male survivors. Further expanding the analysis, the dissertation also investigates how and to what extent prescribed transitional justice processes in Uganda address male sexual and gendered harms. This thesis unveils a vacuum of justice in response to sexual violence against men in Northern Uganda, reflective of gendered blindspots of transitional justice processes globally. Although Acholi male survivors advocate for acknowledgement, recognition and reparations, the masculine and heteronormative dimensions of formalized and standardized transitional justice processes leave male sexual and gendered harms particularly unaccounted for. Within the absence of official measures, male survivors in Acholiland attain a sense of justice on their own terms, through participation in survivors' groups. By addressing male survivors' sexual and gendered harms in different ways, groups create pathways through with male survivors can exercise agency and achieve justice on the micro-level. Recognizing a myriad of unofficial, non-institutionalized and everyday processes as contributing to justice implies the potential to circumvent the institutionalized gendered barriers of formalized justice measures. In light of these findings, transitional justice must be emancipated from its focus on institutionalism and lifted out of its liberal rights-based approach to deliver gender-inclusive and harmresponsive justice through a masculinities lens and in response to male-directed sexual violence.

▼ In the last two decades, many countries going through transitional justice
have established truth commissions. Unlike conventional war tribunals, most truth
commissions are established by the local government and local human rights
groups. Truth commissions are still a nascent political choice, yet a sizable
literature has developed around it, evaluating its potential as a new institution for
dealing with the past and moving towards restorative justice. This work examines
four major questions debated in the transitional justice literature over truth versus
justice: 1) whether or not a truth commission is an valid alternative mechanism to
seeking out retributive justice, 2) whether or not truth commissions are the product
of political compromise which avoiding justice, 3) if truth commissions can be the
agent of new national identity and national unity founded on the principles of
universal human rights, and 4) if amnesty can be legitimized. This work aims to
determine to what extent the idea itself of truth commissions has been actualized
up to now and what lot it may expect in the future, despite incidental political
restrictions and difficulties in the political transition. Despite the common assertion
that the goals of truth commissions are to bring about official acknowledgment of
the past, restore the dignity of the victims, and achieve reconciliation in divided
society, this paper does not intend to evaluate the truth commissions in the past
based on these criteria; nor does this work intend to argue what truth commissions
can resolve in the transitional justice societies. Rather, this paper seeks to uncover what social reaction or human emotions truth commissions in the past have evoked
in a divided society. To explore the question, this paper focuses on the distinctive
activities and merits of truth commissions from the standpoint of retributive justice
and looks into the important implication in the interaction between the victims and
the perpetrators, as well as between the audience and those two parties. Roger
Errera, a member of the French Conseil d’Etat, stated that “Memory is the ultimate
form of justice.” Inspired by the statement, this work argues that justice can be
found in the act of pursing truth, remembering it, and responding to those voices
from the past.

▼ How do Argentina’s found grandchildren experience knowing the truth about their biological origins, and how does this influence their identity? Their identification, restitution and reconstruction of identity has been and will continue to be closely linked to Argentina’s
transitional justice process. We need more knowledge about how victims of political violence experience
transitional justice measures. Therefore, one of the purposes of this thesis is to contribute to a more profound understanding of what such processes imply for a society and its individuals through the context-specific study of one particular aspect of a
transitional justice process. For all of my informants, getting to know the truth about their biological origins has been experienced as what Giddens (1991) refers to as a fateful moment that would change their lives. Each individual has a unique story, yet, I find that the found grandchildren have all gone through three different phases; identification – restitution – reconstruction of identity. I consider the identification and restitution as events limited in time, whereas I view the reconstruction of identity as an ongoing and continuous process in which each person is trying to restore a sense of coherent identity.

Post-conflict housing restitution to returning refugees and the passage of time : The competing rights of secondary occupants.

▼ The international community first came to recognize the refugee right to return, and then expanded it from the country of origin to the home of origin as well. The still incomplete right to restitution regime emerged in the immediate post-Cold War years. Its underlying purpose is political: codification of restitution is meant to widen the effort of transitional justice in recreating multi-ethnic societies. The study examines the right to restitution of returnees and their descendants in those cases when their dispossession occurred a long time ago. The objective is to ask whether rights possibly obtained by long-term secondary occupants (the current possessors of the disputed housing) could give reasons to restrict the unconditional restitution regime. The study limits its purview to post-conflict states as there are reasons to suppose that the universally defined regime does not fully account for those countries’ limited capabilities to provide complete remedy. Developments in international law on the right to return and the right to property restitution assume the role of the theoretical framework in the study. The most elaborated-upon attempt to codify the restitution regime have been the 2005 UN-adopted ‘Pinheiro Principles’, which effect to long-term secondary occupants is analyzed. A theory from an external context has inspired the question of how to make good for an old injustice. This theory, or ‘supersession thesis’, approaches the question of what is just and what is unjust by concentrating on what happened since the injustice (in this case the refugee’s dispossession from her domicile) and how possible subsequent events should affect the present. The study shows, partly by applying the supersession thesis, that there are scenarios when unconditional restitution could be considered a disproportionate remedy. The study concludes that unconditional restitution, unconcerned by changes with time, is both impractical for the post-conflict society and unfair to those who have nothing to do with the original injustice. The new regime based on the Pinheiro Principles seems to be too unconditional as the right to restitution in full is to be applied universally. The Principles may represent such international law that discriminates against parties having acted in good faith. For instance, the disputed dwelling might have been purchased and sold many times since the initial dispossession. Compensation could, in lieu of restitution, be a suitable remedy when an unblemished secondary occupant has a significantly more genuine attachment to the disputed housing. Rights gradually obtained by others would force the international community to abandon the unconditional interpretation favoring the returnee. The parties’ situation could be compared by using the key points of the supersession thesis; restitution of housing would not be the remedy if the returnee has been able to reach a durable solution. Unconditional restitution would be the obvious remedy in all situations but return from long-term exile, in…

▼ Congo-Brazzaville is a small West African country with the economic potential for every citizen to live in comfortable wealth, but its current political context reads like a Hobbesian, dystopian novel. The United Nations lists the country at 137 on the Human Development Index. The irony is that the Congolese voice is missing or “disappeared” from most human rights coverage, academic literature and social research.
This thesis therefore rests keenly on the logic of qualitative research. The Congolese diaspora seemed a trigger point, a way of contending with this disappearance and awakening the “voices from below”. By working with a small sample of the local diaspora, focusing on their stories and experiences, the work seeks to bring clarity and in- depth understanding to their metaphysical hijack.
Surprisingly, what emerged were the false, dominant narratives that keep the Congolese psychologically, politically, and economically suppressed. Namely, 1) Congo is a poor nation, 2) colonialism is dead, 3) ethnic conflict is the cause of war, and 4) Congo has no future. This work shows how and why transitional justice can dismantle and transform these narratives, and offer a moment of reckoning.

▼ This thesis analyzes the development of national justice processes in Uganda in the wake of war in order to address key theoretical dilemmas that have recently emerged in the field of transitional justice. I focus on closely connected debates over the exclusion of socioeconomic justice, the relationship between international, national and local actors, the role of transitional justice discourse, and ultimately, the future of the field itself. Based on fieldwork undertaken in Kampala, the Acholi district and the temporary international arena created in Kampala for the 2010 ICC Review Conference, this thesis traces the role of local, national and international actors in the war itself, the search for peace, and the current post-conflict period. I examine the ways in which actors at all levels narrate the northern conflict and accordingly negotiate and contest the nature, scope and course of post conflict justice. I argue that the struggle for a meaningful approach to transitional justice is global in dimension. The power to define and perform postwar justice is concentrated in the hands of the state. A high risk persists that Uganda's transitional justice policy will prove an empty performance of 'victor's justice.' International and domestic actors alike have shaped and justified the Ugandan Government's self-interested approach and facilitated the dominance of international criminal justice. Conversely, civil society actors at all levels in Uganda draw on transitional justice as a radical language of resistance to fight for meaningful change. As long as it fails to address socioeconomic issues and structural violence however, transitional justice discourse will ultimately fall short of giving political voice to local priorities, and activating long-term social transformation. I argue that the field of transitional justice must be re-envisioned to embrace socioeconomic justice, in order to impel the endless pursuit of a just society. This task will require the collective efforts of a global constellation of actors.

The justice-reconciliation nexus in Israel/Palestine : mapping a transitional framework amid settler colonialism.

▼ As this research is being concluded in September 2017, four milestones in the subjugation of Palestinians are commemorated: 2017 marks one century since the Balfour Declaration, seven decades since the Partition Plan, five decades since the Six Day War, and one decade since the siege on Gaza. The colonization, occupation, and besiegement of Palestinians deepen with impunity, while diplomacy and significant portions of academia and civil society continue to feed an illusory recipe for peace. It was to me a timely endeavour to demystify the abstraction of peace by foregrounding the intersection between justice and reconciliation. I position the justice-reconciliation nexus as the core marker of transitional justice and of conflict transformation in Palestine/Israel, indicative of the repair needed to transcend the impasse. Though justice and reconciliation emerge in the literature as mostly post-settlement concerns and are normatively assumed as synergistic, I evidence both justice and reconciliation are prominent pre-settlement in my site of focus and they exhibit significant incongruences. This exploratory investigation seeks to map the multifaceted, nonlinear meanings surrounding justice and reconciliation presently. To capture this spectrum of idea(l)s and actions, three areas are examined around the justice-reconciliation nexus: its conceptualization, its contextualization, and its operationalization. Conceptualization-wise, I demonstrate the justice-reconciliation nexus is bound to the magnitude of structural violence in Israel/Palestine, one transitional justice has limited capacity to engage. Contextualization-wise, I situate this nexus within a settler colonial structure and track the continuities between this foundational crime and its additional layers of harm: ethnic cleansing, the military occupation, apartheid, protracted non-resolution, third party interventionism, and a culture of pervasive moral apathy. Operationalization-wise, I position civil society as an epistemic community engaged in transitional/transformative efforts amid a non-transitional site. Mapping activism around the justice-reconciliation nexus, I document one stream fixated on justice, working on the citizen vs. state, vertical axis, and another one advancing reconciliation along the people-to-people, horizontal axis. This concept-contextpraxis continuum surfaces the fractures between justice and reconciliation, offering a telescopic view of the difficulty to bridge transitional justice theory to settler colonial studies.

▼ This research seeks to establish a methodology by which
transitional justice strategies ought to be incorporated within the International Criminal Court (ICC) framework. The study is based on the situation in Uganda as an example of the state that has a situation and cases before the ICC. The aim of the thesis was achieved through the adoption of a combination of theoretical legal research and the non -doctrinal approaches.
This research establishes that the primary responsibility to prosecute persons suspected of violating international law lies with the states. The importance of the concept of individual criminal responsibility, the idea that every person suspected of committing the most serious offences must be held accountable regardless of status. The principle of individual criminal responsibility is further developed with the creation of the ICC.
This research clarifies that there are limitations in terms of what prosecutions can achieve during
transitional periods; further, that trials in the ICC and national courts can be undertaken together with proceedings of the Truth and Reconciliation Commissions or indigenous mechasims. Such an approach will allow for confines of prosecutions to be addressed.
Despite the existence of principles and institutional framework that are intended to ensure individuals are held accountable for the most serious offences of international concern, the majority of individuals are not held accountable. In order for the ICC to operate effectively it would need to seek to go beyond deterrence and retribution. This would require post – conflict states to devise
transitional arrangements that compel with the ICC structure.
Thus the research recommends that it would be better for judicial and non- judicial measures to be adopted in states that have cases before the ICC. Particularly Uganda must adopt the mato oput method formally as a tool to address the past human rights abuses in Uganda. All persons regardless of whether they have been granted amnesty or not must be held accountable under the mato oput measures. This implies all persons with exception to those that the ICC has issued the warrants of arrest against.

Zimbabwe is in dire need of wholesale reform. Gross human rights violations which date back to the pre-colonial period could have been abated in 1980 when the magnanimous policy of national reconciliation promised a new start. The watershed opportunity was, however, lost mainly because no deliberate efforts were made to account for the wrongs of the past in order to start afresh. The result was that Zimbabwe won the independence, but peace remained elusive. This is evidenced in the continued instability, insecurity and uncertainty.
The non-retributive pledge had inherent weaknesses; it lacked inclusive participation, hence, no broad ownership. Simply drawing a line between the wounded past and the present, meant burying the past without the prerequisite rituals bent on ensuring non-recurrence. The futility of this blanket amnesty is evident in the sustained legacy of gross human rights abuses and impunity.
Political violence has been institutionalised through politicisation of all aspects of life. This research is guided by Lederach’s reconciliation theory which uses Psalms 85:10 to emphasise the importance of commitment in converging the seemingly divergent aspects of truth, peace, justice and mercy into a ‘meeting place’ called reconciliation. Using a mixed methods approach, this research established that the invariably top-bottom approaches massage the symptoms rather than address the root causes of conflicts. The victims’ agitations for revenge and retribution prompted me to design action research processes aimed at engaging the research participants in interactive activities.
The action research component aimed at sensitising participants to the merits of letting go of the burdens of the past, and to use scars as reminders of hope and not victimhood. The issues of forgiveness without apology, compensation or even remorse were contentious. However, through give-and-take concessions, the dialogue intervention yielded invaluable by-products such as maximisation of indigenous knowledge systems. Building on the participants’ input, sustainable healing and reconciliation can be achieved through deliberate truth-recovery, the right to justice, reparation, forgiveness and non-recurrence assurances.
The research outcomes show that Zimbabwe urgently needs a ‘hybrid’ transitional justice framework based on inclusive participation. Inclusivity is critical because politicians are not necessarily experts in peacebuilding. The yet to be implemented National Peace and Reconciliation Commission can be used as a tool to seek public opinion on how to overcome the entrenched ‘fearology and militarism’ (Oberg 2016) ahead of the watershed 2018 general elections. Uncensored national debates can be used to gather information on the way forward. The multiple merits of Information Communication and Technology should be fully…

▼ Depuis plus d’une décennie, la République Centrafricaine (ci-après le Centrafrique ou la RCA) et la République de Côte d’Ivoire (ci-après la RCI ou la Côte d’Ivoire) traversent des conflits militaro-politiques graves qui se sont accentués pour le premier en 2012 et pour le second en 2011. Ces crises qui, dans la plupart des cas tirent leurs racines dans la mal gouvernance et une absence de volonté politique ont un dénominateur commun : des dégâts matériels importants et en perte de vies humaines. Des crimes graves dans la hiérarchie de l’horreur ont été commis (crimes de guerre, crimes contre l’humanité et crimes de génocide). Compte tenu de la gravité de ces crimes qui transcendent profondément la conscience humaine, les deux pays ont engagé des processus de
justice transitionnelle, à travers des mesures judiciaires et non judiciaires en vue de faire face à leur passé douloureux et réconcilier les populations et communautés divisées. Comment intégrer la
Justice dans une stratégie plus globale du processus transitionnel pour la réconciliation nationale favorable à un nouvel avenir démocratique ?Certes, la répression de ces crimes par les tribunaux centrafricains et ivoiriens, la Cour Pénale Internationale (CPI), la Cour Pénale Spéciale (CPS) en RCA ou au titre de la compétence universelle de juridiction est un objectif prioritaire poursuivi par les deux pays. Cependant, la
justice classique s’est montrée incapable d’en juger tous les auteurs, tant leur nombre est important et tant les faits qui leurs sont reprochés sont graves. C’est pourquoi les autorités centrafricaines et ivoiriennes ont envisagé d’autres mécanismes complémentaires à la
justice pénale destinés à rétablir un vivre ensemble entre les populations divisées, notamment la création des Commissions Vérité et Réconciliation. Elle est chargée d’établir une vérité historique sur les crimes du passé en vue de tourner définitivement la page. En dehors de cette institution classique de la réconciliation nationale, d’autres structures ont été créées, soit pour combler les lacunes des précédentes initiatives, soit pour connaître d’autres domaines nouveaux. La religion a aussi joué un rôle important; soit qu’elle promeut la tolérance religieuse, l’acceptation des différences ou la résolution pacifique des conflits, soit qu’elle apparaît comme cause de conflits, à travers la promotion ou la diffusion des messages de haine et de division.Mais dans la démarche de conciliation de ces deux objectifs, comment entreprendre le processus de réconciliation nationale sans pour autant avaliser les pratiques d’impunité ? C’est en ce sens que la répression des crimes graves apparaît comme un mécanisme nécessaire de la
justice transitionnelle.Enfin, il est important de noter que les crises que connaissent les deux pays obéissent à des mobiles politiques, mais aussi institutionnels. C’est pourquoi des réformes institutionnelles ont été engagées dans plusieurs domaines, entre autres, la Réforme du Secteur de la Sécurité (RSS) avec le désarmement, la démobilisation et la…

▼ For my master thesis I explored the reactions of Slobodan Milosevic and Joseph Kony to the prosecution threats issued by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and the International Criminal Court respectively. For this exploration, an analytical framework has been built, using insights from psychology and criminology - including insights into personality, motivation, rationality, legal deterrence, extralegal sanction threats and legitimacy. By taking an actor-centric approach and by employing the analytical framework, the reactions these men displayed to the legal sanction threats issued by the international courts that prosecuted them were assessed with greater accuracy than before.

▼ Recent debates on transitional justice have concerned whether the field responds to the needs of victims who have suffered serious crimes. At the global level, the International Criminal Court (ICC) serves as the most visible institution of transitional justice and is most famous for its prosecutions of war criminals. Critics of the Court question its relevance to victims and allege that it embodies a Western form of justice, prioritizing retribution over restoration of victims' lives and societies. Often overlooked, however, is the Court's sister organization, the Trust Fund For Victims (TFV). Also established by the Rome Statute, the TFV is mandated to deliver court-ordered reparations to victims as well as to provide assistance to those affected by crimes under ICC jurisdiction. This assistance mandate creates a novel opportunity to reach a wide scope of affected individuals and to bring international justice directly to those who need it most. This thesis reviews research on transitional justice and employs the Trust Fund as a case study of localizing transitional justice through reparative assistance. This study concludes that the reparative assistance, when designed to respond to victims' needs, has material and symbolic significance to victims that meet the goals of transitional justice.

▼ Ample research exists on the systematic weaponization of sexual violence (SV) in conflict, commonly known as conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV). Personal accounts from CRSV victims along with calls for their healing abound. Societies transitioning out of conflict aim to incorporate a restorative justice (RJ) approach in their transitional justice (TJ) mechanisms and processes. Colombia’s current Peace Accord with the FARC-EP is unique in its commitment to addressing CRSV in its TJ process from an RJ lens. However, academic discourse with respect to CRSV is itself is just emerging, and specific knowledge about how to apply RJ to CRSV is wanting. Thus, questions remain about how to design justice frameworks for CRSV that incorporate RJ and still meet international law thresholds. To address this knowledge gap, this participatory action research (PAR) project engaged twenty-eight Colombian participants: six CRSV victims; one CRSV victim’s mother; seven victims’ organization representatives; two Colombian RJ organization representatives; seven FARC ex-combatants (including one self-admitted SV victim); one representative each of two Colombian State agencies governing TJ; and one international non-governmental organization (NGO) representative engaged in ex-combatant reintegration. They discussed needs, perspectives and possibilities for CRSV redress and reparations, and their responses informed six recommendations for RJ opportunities to redress and prevent CRSV in Colombia’s TJ process.

▼ Transitional justice seeks to deal with legacies of the most brutal conflicts and political transitions within states; however, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Post-conflict
justice, as a subset of
transitional justice, is concerned with
justice mechanisms in the wake of armed conflict. Despite a growing literature exploring the conceptualization and effectiveness of
transitional justice, less attention has been paid to the factors influencing the decision to adopt
transitional justice and choice of mechanism(s). Further, theoretical understandings of how these choices ultimately contribute to the broader goals of
justice, truth, and peace are limited. This study proposes domestic legal traditions as an explanatory factor influencing the pursuit of post-conflict
justice. More specifically, I expect to find that states have preferred, or congruent post-conflict
justice mechanisms based on their domestic legal traditions. To test this relationship, I develop a congruence variable to link domestic legal traditions to post-conflict
justice mechanisms. I utilize the Post-Conflict
Justice (PCJ) Dataset to test hypotheses regarding adoption and mechanism selection, finding that states prefer specific post-conflict
justice mechanisms. More importantly, a survival analysis shows that the implementation of congruent post-conflict
justice mechanisms increases the likelihood of longer-lasting peace in the post-conflict period. These findings provide key insights into important factors that can inform policy and best practices when considering the adoption and implementation of post-conflict
justice.

▼ This dissertation explores the role and utility of law in the pursuit of post-conflict retributive justice in South Africa. Adopting a frame analytic approach to law in transition, this dissertation examines the ways in transitional justice stakeholders use law as an interpretive device and rhetorical capability to pursue their respective retributive justice goals. At the disciplinary level, transitional justice practitioners rely on liberal legalism to transform egregious acts of violence into discrete legal categories that are capable of condemnation by criminal law. At the organizational level, state prosecutors deploy international and domestic law frames to reconstruct human rights violations as either ordinary crimes or instances of extraordinary international criminality. At the individual level, victims of human rights abuses use liberal legalist discourse to articulate post-conflict justice demands and challenge conceptions of victimhood, citizenship, and state responsibility. This dissertation finds that law in transition can be both enabling and constraining, suggesting a need for disciplinary reflexivity when contributing to debates about the dominance of liberal legalism in transitional justice theorizing and praxis.

▼ This thesis examines the history and intricacies of
Transitional Justice (TJ) and how it has been utilized in the case of Nepal. Since the TJ process does not exist in a historical and socio-political vacuum, I also cursorily review facets as they pertain to the TJ process in Nepal. The rallying cry among victims and families of civil war victims has been for inclusivity in the TJ process and its implementation, holding offenders accountable, and appropriate restitution and reconciliation opportunities. This thesis evaluates the current TJ mechanisms implemented in Nepal and analyzes their efficacy in fulfilling the needs of the victims. The TJ process, even before any implementation and definitely during the consulting period, should be more victim-centric; this allows for the goals of TJ to be met at an immediate individual level, which in turn could lead to an onset of a larger positive socio-political transformation. I also argue that the utilization of Restorative
Justice (RJ) principles using Participatory Methodologies will contribute towards ensuring both TJ processes and frameworks focus on the victims’ needs.

▼ This research project involves a comparative, cross-national study of truth and reconciliation commissions (TRCs) in countries around the world that have used these extra-judicial institutions to pursue
justice and promote national reconciliation during periods of democratic transition or following a civil conflict marked by intense violence and severe human rights abuses. An important objective of truth and reconciliation commissions involves instituting measures to address serious human rights abuses that have occurred as a result of discrimination, ethnocentrism and racism. In recent years, rather than solely utilizing traditional methods of conflict resolution and criminal prosecution,
transitional governments have established truth and reconciliation commissions as part of efforts to foster psychological, social and political healing. The primary objective of this research project is to determine why there has been a proliferation of truth and reconciliation commissions around the world in recent decades, and assess whether the perceived effectiveness of these commissions is real and substantial. In this work, using a multi-method approach that involves quantitative and qualitative analysis, I consider the institutional design and structural composition of truth and reconciliation commissions, as well as the roles that these commissions play in the democratic transformation of nations with a history of civil conflict and human rights violations. In addition to a focus on institutional design of truth and reconciliation commissions, I use a group identity framework that is grounded in social identity theory to examine the historical background and sociopolitical context in which truth commissions have been adopted in countries around the world. This group identity framework serves as an invaluable lens through which questions related to truth and reconciliation commissions and other
transitional justice mechanisms can be explored. I also present a unique theoretical framework, the reconciliatory democratization paradigm, that is especially useful for examining the complex interactions between the various political elements that directly affect the processes of democratic consolidation and reconciliation in countries in which truth and reconciliation commissions have been established. Finally, I tackle the question of whether successor regimes that institute truth and reconciliation commissions can effectively address the human rights violations that occurred in the past, and prevent the recurrence of these abuses.

▼ What is the effect of political exclusion on individual participation in national post-conflict
justice institutions? To date, most of the post-conflict
justice literature has examined these institutions (e.g. truth commissions, trials, reparations, etc.) on the national level, which prevents us from accounting for strategic motivation in
justice selection, and from observing variation in implementing the process within a given country. I argue that there is a strategic incentive for post-conflict governments to frame conflict events in a politically advantageous way. This frame determines the mandate of the post-conflict
justice process, which may or may not correspond with an individual's conflict experience. This strategic selection is important because it creates: 1) a possible disjuncture between what events an individual encountered, and what events the
justice process addresses; and 2) reduced support, and perhaps even animosity, toward the
justice effort put forward. Depending upon which victim and which violations are incorporated into the institution, post-conflict
justice processes can exclude the experiences of certain groups and compel them to (in)action. To examine this process, I conducted over 80 interviews in post-conflict Rwanda and Northern Ireland. In addition, I used quantitative disaggregated data on both conflicts to both substantiate the experiences reported in the interviews, and pair these experiences with the focus of the existing post-conflict
justice process.
