Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Criminal justice for human rights abuses committed during periods of political repression or dictatorship is one of the great challenges to post-con?ict societies. In many cases, there has been no justice at all. Sometimes serious political concerns that e?orts at accountability might upset fragile peace settlements have militated in favour of no action and no accountability. In many cases, the outgoing tyrants have conditioned their departure upon a pledge that there be no prosecutions. But thinking on these issues has evolved considerably in recent years. Largely driven by the view that collective amnesia amounts to a violation of fundamental human rights, especially those of the victims of atrocities, attention has increasingly turned to the dynamics of post-con?ict accountability. At the high end of the range, of course, sit the new international criminal justice institutions: the ad hoc tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, the Special Court for Sierra Leone, the various ‘‘hybrid’’ tribunals in Kosovo, East Timor and Cambodia, and the new International Criminal Court. But in terms of sheer numbers, the most signi?cant new institutions are truth and reconciliation commissions. Of va- able architecture, depending upon the prerogatives of the society in question and the features of the past con?ict, they have emerged as a highly popular mechanism within the toolbox of transitional justice. In some cases, the truth commission is held out as an alternative to criminal justice.

Book Synopsis A Political Tool? The Politics of Case Selection at the Special Court for Sierra Leone by : Chris Mahony
Download or read book A Political Tool? The Politics of Case Selection at the Special Court for Sierra Leone written by Chris Mahony and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The establishment of a truth and reconciliation commission (TRC) and a war crimes court (the Special Court for Sierra Leone or SCSL) in Sierra Leone has been described as a transitional justice (TJ) model that advances both justice and reconciliation. Whether these institutions have been a 'success' has been highly contested within Sierra Leone and among external TJ observers. This chapter focuses on the politics informing the most prominent process in Sierra Leone: the Special Court. The chapter claims that the independence or otherwise of SCSL case selection is a key indicator of success. It considers the interests of the actors who designed the Court and traces the manifestation of those interests in key elements of institutional design and function. Its findings support a more realist explanation of the Court's creation and function than the normative aspirations espoused by the Court and repeated by other observers 'that no one was beyond the court's reach'. I argue that the politics of the Court's creation compromised its capacity to independently pursue its mandate - to pursue those most responsible for crimes. This was a Court, I argue, designed to assist other US and British instruments of regime change strategy in Liberia and regime protection in Sierra Leone. The chapter draws on over 150 interviews with personnel from the Special Court, the United States Department of Defense, the United States Department of State, from Congress, from the United Nations Secretariat, with Human Rights Groups, with personnel Sierra Leonean Civil Society and with members of the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office, as well as experience working at the Sierra Leone Truth and Reconciliation Commission in 2003 and at the Special Court for Sierra Leone in 2008.
Book Synopsis Religion, Tradition, and Restorative Justice in Sierra Leone by : Lyn S. Graybill
Download or read book Religion, Tradition, and Restorative Justice in Sierra Leone written by Lyn S. Graybill and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2017-06-15 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking study of post-conflict Sierra Leone, Lyn Graybill examines the ways in which both religion and local tradition supported restorative justice initiatives such as the national Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) and village-level Fambul Tok ceremonies. Through her interviews with Christian and Muslim leaders of the Inter-Religious Council, Graybill uncovers a rich trove of perspectives about the meaning of reconciliation, the role of acknowledgment, and the significance of forgiveness. Through an abundance of polling data and her review of traditional practices among the various ethnic groups, Graybill also shows that these perspectives of religious leaders did not at all conflict with the opinions of the local population, whose preferences for restorative justice over retributive justice were compatible with traditional values that prioritized reconciliation over punishment. These local sentiments, however, were at odds with the international community's preference for retributive justice, as embodied in the Special Court for Sierra Leone, which ran concurrently with the TRC. Graybill warns that with the dominance of the International Criminal Court in Africa—there are currently eighteen pending cases in eight countries—local preferences may continue to be sidelined in favor of prosecutions. She argues that the international community is risking the loss of its most valuable assets in post-conflict peacebuilding by pushing aside religious and traditional values of reconciliation in favor of Western legal norms.

Book excerpt: One of these approaches is the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, TRC, believed to provide a veritable platform for victims and perpetrators alike, to have a voice that would enable them to come to terms with the horrifying past. In Africa, TRCs as strategies for coming to terms with the past in Africa came into prominence following the example of South Africa after the end of apartheid in 1994. Since then, TRCs have been set up in Rwanda and Sierra Leone, while one has been proposed for Liberia.

Book Synopsis The Sierra Leone Special Court and its Legacy by : Charles Chernor Jalloh
Download or read book The Sierra Leone Special Court and its Legacy written by Charles Chernor Jalloh and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-12-16 with total page 823 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL) is the third modern international criminal tribunal supported by the United Nations and the first to be situated where the crimes were committed. This timely, important and comprehensive book is the first to critically assess the impact and legacy of the SCSL for Africa and international criminal law. Contributors include leading scholars and respected practitioners with inside knowledge of the tribunal, who analyze cutting-edge and controversial issues with significant implications for international criminal law and transitional justice. These include joint criminal enterprise; forced marriage; enlisting and using child soldiers; attacks against United Nations peacekeepers; the tension between truth commissions and criminal trials in the first country to simultaneously have the two; and the questions of whether it is permissible under international law for states to unilaterally confer blanket amnesties to local perpetrators of universally condemned international crimes.
