In so doing, it argues that transitional justice is an idea around which a loosely structured movement emerged and professionalized, making truth commissions a standard response to mass violence. By exploring how this movement developed, as well as efforts to make truth commissions in the Balkans, Colombia, and the US, this book explains different processes through which political actors translate new legal ideas such as transitional justice into political action. Further, it reveals how the malleability of transitional justice and truth commissions is both an asset and a liability for those hoping to ensure accountability, improve survivor well-being, and prevent future violence."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Truth commissions. 650 0 $a Transitional justice. 650 7 $a Transitional justice. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01747069 650 7 $a Truth commissions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01158251 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213020019.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D61A71C6E55311E7AFB0C42A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
