  3. Transitional Criminal Justice in Post-Dictatorial and Post-Conflict Societies

    Transitional Criminal Justice in Post-Dictatorial and Post-Conflict Societies

    Book | 1st edition 2015 | World | Agata Fijalkowski, Raluca Grosescu
    States that are in transition after a dictatorship or a violent conflict face formidable challenges concerning accountability for human rights violations. This edited collection considers criminal justice as a method of addressing state violence committed by non-democratic regimes. Its main objectives concern a fresh, contemporary, and critical analysis of transitional criminal justice as a concept and its related measures, beginning with the initiatives since the fall of the Communist regimes in Europe in 1989.

  4. Transitional Justice and Memory in Europe (1945-2013)

    Transitional Justice and Memory in Europe (1945-2013)

    Book | 1st edition 2014 | Europe | Nico Wouters
    What lessons can we learn from history, and more importantly: how? Efficient transitional justice policy evaluation requires, inter alia, an historical dimension. Nevertheless, history as a profession remains somewhat absent in the multi-disciplinary field of transitional justice. The idea that we should learn lessons from history continues to create unease among most professional historians. This volume is a major contribution in the search for synergies between the agenda of historical research and the rapidly developing field of transitional justice.

  6. Transitional Justice, Impunity and the Judicialization of Politics

    Transitional Justice, Impunity and the Judicialization of Politics

    Book | 1st edition 2025 | Europe, United Kingdom | Michael Humphrey, Estela Valverde

    A unique approach of this book is to use comparative case studies of political transitions in Uruguay, Lebanon, Spain, Kenya and Colombia to illustrate the historical development of transitional justice which gradually extended the reach of international human rights law to manage political transitions, thereby limiting impunity. Through these case studies, the book shows how transitional justice intervention has been shaped by distinct histories of conflict, elite pactism and transitional jurisprudence.

    Migration crisis, food crisis, economic crisis – the most alarming tendencies in our contemporary world are related to the transnational social question.

    Book | 1st edition 2012 | United Kingdom | C.H. van Rhee, Alan Uzelac
    In the pursuit of justice, truth always plays a prominent role.

Such rules are the core of most methods of adjudication and they are the main theme of the present volume, which focuses specifically on the rules of evidence within the context of efficiency in civil proceedings.
