本文认为，过渡时期司法需要采取参与性的方法，以实现长期的可持续性，从自上而下的“一刀切”的方法，让“从下而上的声音”被听到和注意。它批评了对关键过渡时期司法概念的主流解释，并将其与冲突后过渡时期司法在一系列暴力分裂社会中的困难联系起来。有人认为，民众参与和地方机构是实现许多过渡时期司法讨论中确定的目标和建立可持续和平机制所必需的。一个北方爱尔兰倡议（Ardoyne纪念项目）将深入探讨，说明如何自下而上的“讲真话”的过程可以作出重大贡献，过渡时期的司法和铸造的有效性，以尊重法律的主导地位，在目前的政策和实践的怀疑。该文件建议，在过渡时期司法的辩论和方法中更明确地应用发展研究和参与理论中的现有知识。
This paper argues that transitional justice needs to adopt a participatory approach to achieve longer-term sustainability, shifting away from the top-down ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to allow ‘voices from below’ to be heard and heeded. It critiques dominant interpretations of key transitional justice concepts, and links them to the difficulties of post-conflict transitional justice in a range of violently divided societies. Popular participation and local agency, it is argued, is necessary to achieve ends identified in much transitional justice discourse, and to embed mechanisms for the creation of sustainable peace. A Northern Ireland initiative (the Ardoyne Commemoration Project) will be explored in-depth, illustrating how a bottom-up ‘truth-telling’ process can make a significant contribution to transitional justice and casting doubt on the validity of the deference to legal dominance in current policy and practice. The paper recommends that knowledge available in development studies and participatory theory be applied more clearly in debates and approaches in transitional justice.
