Böcker i Series on Transitional Justice-serien

The Spanish transition from the Franco regime to democracy has not been a very popular subject amongst researchers examining transitional justice. This book analyses the laws, policies and judicial decisions adopted in Spain that were related to the construction of the past and could therefore be understood as measures of transitional justice.

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 transitional justice. This volume searches for synergies between historical research and transitional justice.

Child Soldiers and Transitional Justice: Protecting the Rights of Children Involved in Armed Conflicts challenges the trend towards a narrow focus on the event of recruitment and use of the child, and seeks to contribute to more effective prevention and responses that offer the child a chance of recovery, reconciliation and reintegration.

Based on fieldwork unprecedented in scope, this project provides the first systematic study of the formulation and implementation of the recommendations of thirteen Latin American truth commissions.
