International Journal of Transitional Justice

The International Journal of Transitional Justice publishes high quality, refereed articles in the rapidly growing field of transitional justice; that is the study of those strategies employed by states and international institutions to deal with a legacy of human rights abuses and to effect social reconstruction in the wake of widespread violence.

The Journal is envisioned as a central site from which to house and build upon an array of research and writing currently available in this field. It is intended to span the analytical bridge between scholars and practitioners, and facilitate sustained interaction across the range of disciplines encompassed by the topic of transitional justice.

Topics covered by the journal include (but are not limited to): truth commissions, universal jurisdiction, post-conflict social reconciliation, victim and perpetrator studies, international and domestic prosecutions, institutional transformation, vetting, memorialization, reparations and ex-combatant reintegration.
