The Reparative Effect of Truth Seeking in Transitional Justice

Abstract: The benefits of a ‘holistic’ approach to transitional justice are enhanced by considering how synergies between different transitional mechanisms may be optimized. Drawing upon multiple examples, this article explores the potential contribution of truth seeking to reparation efforts at a normative, institutional and operational level. The article emphasizes the importance of an awareness of the reparative potential of truth seeking on the part of those implicated in its design and implementation, as well as an… Show more

“…16 Julie Stubbs suggests the need for caution in applying restorative justice practices in Indigenous communities. 17 In addition, restorative justice, if focused on victim-perpetrator relations alone, struggles to conceptualise a response where the state perpetrates or condones this violence. 18 As a result, restorative justice principles and practices may only form a particular component of an overall justice response to widespread or systemic historical abuses.…”

“…Sin embargo, la búsqueda de la verdad en los contextos de transición no solo se vincula con la reparación de las víctimas, sino también con la construcción de memoria y la creación de una forma de comprender el pasado (Baldosea, 2017;Benavides, 2013;Lawry-White, 2015;Rauschenbach, Staerklé y Scalia, 2016;Taruffo, 2007). Este hecho genera un contraste con cualquier otro tipo de procedimiento judicial ordinario, pues en los procesos judiciales de justicia transicional, el Estado tiene la obligación de garantizar que la sociedad conozca lo ocurrido 5 (Baldosea, 2017).…”

“…Los juicios también brindan una oportunidad para que las víctimas hablen en público sobre sus experiencias y, por lo tanto, participen activamente en el proceso judicial. El poder relatar la propia experiencia de victimización en un fuero público, de confianza y respeto como así también el sentirse escuchado tiene un poder reparador (Goldstone, 1996;Hayner, 2002;Lawry-White, 2015).
