PLCR 538 - Post Conf Recnclatn & Just

Institution:

Duquesne University

Subject:

PLCR - Center Soc & Pub Policy

Description:

How should societies and international organizations respond to "crimes against humanity", war crimes, and gross human rights violations? To what extent is the pursuit of justice compatible with goals of reconciliation between adversary groups? Building on the legacy of the war-crimes tribunals established after World War II, several countries in Latin America, Europe, and Africa have established "truth commissions". We examine the potential and limitations of post-conflict justice and reconciliation attempts and their relationship to broader processes of democratization, comparing experiences in several countries.
