Since the early 1990s, transitional justice has established itself as a
field of study and practice. Proponents make normative links
between transitional justice processes—for example, criminal trials,
truth commissions and reparations—and broader societal and
systemic outcomes, such as healing, reconciliation, peace and democracy. There is, however, a paucity of evidence on the actual
effects and experiences of transitional justice interventions in waraffected
and fragile places. This paper uses a bibliographic search
methodology to pull together the extant evidence on local
experiences of transitional justice interventions and finds that local
perceptions and experiences of these processes are complex and do
not conform with widely-held normative assertions about what
transitional justice “ought” to accomplish. The implications for the
transitional justice field are examined and recommendations for
future research are proposed.
