Though transitional justice has been hailed by many as the best path toward reconciliation and stability in postconflict and democratizing societies, criticisms of the approach also abound, with a significant number of TJ programs labeled failures. What accounts for this difference of opinion? How is success measured? Have the societies that sought to implement a plan for TJ followed the trajectory laid out in the policy design phase? And if not, was success sometimes achieved despite this variation—or perhaps because of it? Toshihiro Abe addresses these questions through an exploration of TJ projects at the local level in Africa, Asia, and Europe. Highlighting the tension between national goals and local realities, and finding unexpected positive outcomes within the context of official failure, Abe provides an important new understanding of the diverse outcomes of TJ policy.

Following unprecedented violence in 2007/8, Kenya introduced two classic transitional justice mechanisms: a truth commission and international criminal proceedings. Both are widely believed to have failed, but why? And what do their performances say about contemporary Kenya; the ways in which violent pasts persist; and the shortcomings of transitional justice? Using the lens of performance, this book analyses how transitional justice efforts are incapable of dealing with how unjust and violent pasts actually persist. Gabrielle Lynch reveals the story of an ongoing political struggle requiring substantive socio-economic and political change that transitional justice mechanisms can theoretically recommend, and which they can sometimes help to initiate and inform, but which they cannot implement or create, and can sometimes unintentionally help to reinforce.

Although truth and reconciliation commissions are supposed to generate consensus and unity in the aftermath of political violence, Abena Ampofoa Asare identifies cacophony as the most valuable and overlooked consequence of this process in Ghana. By collecting and preserving the voices of a diverse cross-section of the national population, Ghana's National Reconciliation Commission (2001-2004) created an unprecedented public archive of postindependence political history as told by the self-described victims of human rights abuse.The collected voices in the archives of this truth commission expand Ghana's historic record by describing the state violence that seeped into the crevices of everyday life, shaping how individuals and communities survived the decades after national independence. Here, victims of violence marshal the language of international human rights to assert themselves as experts who both mourn the past and articulate the path toward future justice.There are, however, risks as well as rewards for dredging up this survivors' history of Ghana. The revealed truth of Ghana's human rights history is the variety and dissonance of suffering voices. These conflicting and conflicted records make it plain that the pursuit of political reconciliation requires, first, reckoning with a violence that is not past but is preserved in national institutions and individual lives. By exploring the challenge of human rights testimony as both history and politics, Asare charts a new course in evaluating the success and failures of truth and reconciliation commissions in Africa and around the world.

Religion et violence sont souvent liées dans les médias, car nombre d’affrontements meurtriers s’avèrent alimentés par l’intolérance religieuse.D’aucuns en concluent que vivre sans religion serait préférable, parce que toutes les religions se valent et divisent, chacune cherchant à imposer « sa » vérité. Le « retour du religieux » est perçu alors comme une menace dans les sociétés occidentales démocratiques et sécularisées.Mais est-il possible de refouler la foi hors de l’espace public ? Les hommes n’ont-ils pas besoin de convictions fortes qui les aident à concevoir « la vie bonne » ? Les sensibilités religieuses ne sont-elles pas instrumentalisées par des intérêts économiques et politiques ? Les grandes religions offrent-elles des ressources pour repousser la tentation de la violence ?Comment les chrétiens peuvent-ils pour leur part relever ces défis ? Peuvent-ils clarifier leurs propres positionnements en entrant en dialogue avec les autres ? L’Observatoire Foi et Culture de la Conférence des évêques de France a réuni ici les réflexions de philosophes, d’historiens et de théologiens.Un ouvrage d’actualité. À méditer.
