RT Book T1 Facing the past: amending historical injustices through instruments of transitional justice T2 Series on transitional justice JF Series on transitional justice A2 Malcontent, P. A. M. 1965- A2 Malcontent, Peter LA English PP Cambridge Antwerp Portland PB Intersentia YR 2016 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/858771098 AB How do societies at the national and international level try to overcome historical injustices? What remedies did they develop to do justice to victims of large scale atrocities? And even more important: what have we learned from the implementation of these so-called instruments of transitional justice in practice? Lawyers, socials scientists and historians have published shelves full of books and articles on how to confront the past through international criminal tribunals, truth commissions, financial compensation schemes and other instruments of retributive/punitive and restorative justice. A serious problem continues to be that broad interdisciplinary accounts that include both categories of measures are still hardly available. With this volume a group of international experts in the field endeavors to fill this gap, and even more. By alternating historical overviews with critical assessments this volume does not only offer an extensive introduction to the world of transitional justice, but also food for thought concerning the effectiveness of the remedies it offers to face the past successfully --Back cover AB Introduction / Peter Malcontent -- Do bystanders exist? / Fred Grünfeld -- The marketisation of historical injustice / Duco Hellema -- Pacting the law within politics : lessons from the International Criminal Court's first investigations / Kenneth A.
