本文提供了一个关键的评估努力，以解决北方爱尔兰冲突的遗产。我们开始概述自1998年以来政府主导的举措，然后反思三个基本主题：正义、问责和有罪不罚倾向;从“真相”转向“信息”恢复;以及历史的工具化。然后，我们提供了一个反思性的评估，我们的努力，以促进“从下而上”的变体的法律的，政治和历史的宣传。反思我们的努力，质疑和批评连续政府的建议，我们得出三个重叠的“理想类型”的过渡时期司法宣传：技术参与，联盟建设和博览会。最后，我们强调了在“后真相”时代从事过渡时期司法奖学金和宣传的非常具体的挑战。
This article offers a critical assessment of efforts to address the legacy of the Northern Ireland conflict. We begin with an overview of government-led initiatives since 1998 and then reflect on three underpinning themes: justice, accountability and the tilt towards impunity; the shift from ‘truth’ to ‘information’ recovery; and the instrumentalization of history. We then offer a reflexive assessment of our endeavours to contribute to a ‘from below’ variant of legal, political and historical advocacy. Reflecting on our efforts to contest and critique successive government proposals, we draw out three overlapping ‘ideal types’ of transitional justice advocacy: technical engagement, coalition building and exposition. We conclude by highlighting the very specific challenges of engaging in transitional justice scholarship and advocacy in a ‘post-truth’ era.
