Where Law Meets Reality: Forging African Transitional Justice

Exploring the dilemmas and complexities involved in addressing past human rights violations from an African perspective, this unique book argues for a more peaceful future.It challenges current transitional justice narratives which have inadequately addressed the concerns of postconflict societies in Africa and emphasizes the need to avoid representing African issues as exotic and exceptional. Unique and comprehensive, this book not only considers the core debates about how to develop a transitional justice agenda, but also assesses the potential of localized justice models to contribute to justice systems."
