Transitional justice is a burgeoning field of scholarly
inquiry. Yet while the transitional justice literature is replete with claims
about the benefits of criminal trials, too often these claims lack an empirical
basis and hence remain unproven. While there has been much discussion about
whether criminal trials can aid reconciliation, the extent to which they
actually do so in practice remains under-explored. This book investigates the
relationship between criminal trials and reconciliation, through a particular
focus on the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY).
Challenging many of the common yet untested assumptions
about the benefits of criminal trials, this innovative and extremely timely
monograph will be invaluable for those with interests in the theory and
practice of transitional justice.
