In order to make justice work, participation and reconciliation is needed within and between societies, peoples, and nations. In this compilation, authors—senior academics as well as students-- from Bethlehem University, Israel, and the Catholic University of Applied Sciences, Cologne, Germany, contribute to this important field. Thus, to some extent, the book in itself is an example of the subjects it deals with.

Traditional Justice and Reconciliation After Violent Conflict
Author: Lucien Huyse
Publisher: International IDEA
ISBN: 9789185724284
Category : Burundi
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This book presents the findings of a major comparative study examining the role played by traditional justice mechanisms in dealing with the legacy of violent conflict in Africa. It focuses on case studies of five countries -- Rwanda, Mozambique, Uganda, Sierra Leone and Burundi - that are used as the basis for outlining conclusions and options for future policy development in the related areas of post-conflict reconstruction, democracy building and development. "Traditional Justice & Reconciliation After Violent Conflict" suggests that in some circumstances traditional mechanisms can effectively complement conventional judicial systems and represent a real potential for promoting justice, reconciliation and a culture of democracy. At the same time it cautions against unrealistic expectations of traditional structures and offers a sober, evidence-based assessment of both the strengths and the weaknesses of traditional conflict management mechanisms within the broader framework of post-conflict social reconstruction efforts. The book is intended to serve both as a general knowledge resource and as a practitioner's guide for national bodies seeking to employ traditional justice mechanisms, as well as external agencies aiming to support such processes.

Justice and Reconciliation in World Politics
Author: Catherine Lu
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108349692
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
Calls for justice and reconciliation in response to political catastrophes are widespread in contemporary world politics. What implications do these normative strivings have in relation to colonial injustice? Examining cases of colonial war, genocide, forced sexual labor, forcible incorporation, and dispossession, Lu demonstrates that international practices of justice and reconciliation have historically suffered from, and continue to reflect, colonial, statist and other structural biases. The continued reproduction of structural injustice and alienation in modern domestic, international and transnational orders generates contemporary duties of redress. How should we think about the responsibility of contemporary agents to address colonial structural injustices and what implications follow for the transformation of international and transnational orders? Redressing the structural injustices implicated in or produced by colonial politics requires strategies of decolonization, decentering, and disalienation that go beyond interactional practices of justice and reconciliation, beyond victims and perpetrators, and beyond a statist world order.

Building Trust, Effective Communication, and Transparency Between Police and Community Members
Author: Bush, Christopher Lee
Publisher: IGI Global
ISBN: 1668485710
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
The criminal justice system is confined to a stagnant past, unable to cope with the effects of change affecting our rapidly evolving world. American citizens have long advocated for a comprehensive transformation of this system, but its archaic practices, policies, and procedures persist despite the advancements that have reshaped every aspect of our lives. The consequence is a deep-seated mistrust among professionals and communities, leaving us at a critical crossroads. The time for change is overdue, and the demand for research, innovation, and a bridge between law enforcement and the community has never been more pressing. Building Trust, Effective Communication, and Transparency Between Police and Community Members offers a much-needed solution to this pressing issue. This book is a comprehensive resource designed to bridge the gap between police and the community, addressing the vital nexus of technology and justice. With a focus on prevention, awareness, and intervention practices deeply entwined with technological advancement, we chart a path forward for a reformed criminal justice system.

Reconciliation After Violent Conflict
Author: David Bloomfield
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
How does a newly democratized nation constructively address the past to move from a divided history to a shared future? How do people rebuild coexistence after violence? The International IDEA Handbook on Reconciliation after Violent Conflict presents a range of tools that can be, and have been, employed in the design and implementation of reconciliation processes. Most of them draw on the experience of people grappling with the problems of past violence and injustice. There is no "right answer" to the challenge of reconciliation, and so the Handbook prescribes no single approach. Instead, it presents the options and methods, with their strengths and weaknesses evaluated, so that practitioners and policy-makers can adopt or adapt them, as best suits each specific context. Also available in a French language version.

Understanding Quality Peace
Author: Madhav Joshi
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351391569
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
This book provides an analytical framework for understanding how the concept of quality peace can be used to evaluate post-conflict peacebuilding, using social science, statistics, and case studies. Including contributions from more than 20 researchers and practitioners, it argues that the quality of the peace in a post-conflict state relates to the extent to which peace accords are implemented, the agreed-upon mechanism for the non-violent resolution of the conflict, and the available social space for civil and political actors. To arrive at the concept of 'quality peace', the authors evaluate the existing literature and identify a lack of a satisfactory means of measuring outcomes, and consequently how these might be researched comparatively. The volume problematizes the 'quality peace' concept as a way to understand the origins of armed conflict as well as problems deriving from the conflict dynamics and the need for social, political, and economic changes in the post-conflict periods. The book emphasizes five dimensions as crucial for quality peace in a post-accord society. Negotiations and agreements not only aim at avoiding the return of war but also seek to: (1) promote reconciliation, (2) develop mechanisms for resolving future disputes, (3) provide for reliable security, (4) open economic opportunities for marginalized segments of the population, and (5) generate space for civil society. These five dimensions together provide for quality peace after war. They are studied in the context of internal armed conflicts in which multiple parties have signed a peace agreement. This book will be of great interest to students of peace and conflict studies, civil wars, global governance, security studies, and International Relations in general.
