Restorative & Retributive Justice during Periods of Transitional Justice: A Select Bibliography

Despite the coordinating conjunction, the emphasis is largely (thus not exclusively) on “restorative (or ‘reparative’) justice” in transitional times, which is invariably examined in the light of retributive justice, whether or not the former in fact tends to facilitate, complement, ignore, trump or transcend the latter. This in no way should be construed to imply any denigration of the urgent need for international criminal law and justice. Another compilation provides the necessary focus on international criminal law and (retributive) justice.
