Why are certain responses to past human rights violations considered instances of transitional justice while others are disregarded? This study interrogates the history of the discourse and practice of the field to answer that question. Zunino argues that a number of characteristics inherited as transitional justice emerged as a discourse in the 1980s and 1990s have shaped which practices of the present and the past are now regarded as valid responses to past human rights violations. He traces these influential characteristics from Argentina's transition to democracy in 1983, the end of communism in Eastern Europe, the development of international criminal justice, and the South African truth commission of 1995. Through an analysis of the post-World War II period, the decolonisation process and the Cold War, Zunino identifies a series of episodes and mechanisms omitted from the history of transitional justice because they did not conform to its accepted characteristics.
Over the past years global justice has established itself as one of the new and most promising frontiers of political theory. Sovereign Justice collects valuable contributions from scholars of both continental and analytic tradition, and aims to investigate into the relationship between global justice and the nation state. It deals with the moral relevance of national boundaries and cosmopolitanism, and takes into account the most influential traditions that shape current approaches to the subject, especially those descending from Rawls and Kant
There are a lot of moral values in the practice of communities and the moral philosophies make different hierarchies among them on the one side, and there are different generalizations of morality (rules, maxims, virtues, principles etc.) which mean the fixed norms of morality on the other side. There is the well-known line of critics of MacIntyre, Michael Sandel, Michael Walzer and Charles Taylor which attacks the moral theory of John Rawls as the reduction of the morality to the justice and which tendency appeared in the most clear form in the theory of Jürgen Habermas. The study tries to show that beyond the American line of thought the critique of this reduction can be based in the genuine German line of thought which appeared in the ethics of Rudolph von Jhering and Nicolai Hartmann. In order to show the consequences of this reduction the study compares the theory of Rawls and Habermas with the ethics of Rudolph von Jhering and Nicolai Hartmann who outline in their theories a lot of moral values and as one of these values the justice is placed among them.

In paying particular attention to the qualitative dimensions of this - based on interviews, focus groups and ethnographic observation - the book provides an unrivalled view of restorative justice conferencing in practice.
AbstractThis article reflects upon the ways in which transitional justice debates and processes impacted Tunisia's transition. It explores key questions such as what demands for justice emerged in the aftermath of the Tunisian revolution? Did Tunisia's transitional justice process reflect these demands? And, did international norms of transitional justice, which emerged from a field of practice that draws heavily upon European, Latin America and Sub‐Saharan experiences, but has largely excluded the Arab Middle East, serve to mediate between competing demands for justice in the aftermath of the Tunisian revolution? It will be argued that transitional justice demands in Tunisia reflected a breakdown in the state–society socioeconomic bargain, which had maintained autocratic regimes since independence in 1956; however, due to the elite‐centred nature of transitional justice discourses, many transitional justice demands never resonated into mainstream transitional justice discourse. We will argue that international transitional justice entrepreneurs' attempt to import a normative framework that was ill suited to grapple with the complex legacies of socioeconomic marginalization, resulted in a growing disillusionment and disengagement from the state driven transitional justice process on the part of Tunisian society.
International audience ; Today, the apparent consensual notion of « proximity justice » (neighbourhood justice) covers many meanings. This paper aims to specify its scope,through the analysis of the activities of the « houses of justice » located in the Rhône department. The survey of the usages and practices of both thetreatment of petty crime and access to law leads to the acknowledgement of the relatively limited scope of geographical proximity. In the same way,human proximity tends to give way to the rise of temporal proximity. Interestingly, the effect of the identity concerns of the judicial institution in fact meets the expectations of the various local actors. The latter seem justice which has been developed to deal with the spécifie problems of some neighbourhoods —, the moving closer of a non-specific judicial institution faithful to its true nature, with its conséquences on both the instrumental and symbolic level. ; Sous des dehors très consensuels, la notion de « justice de proximité » recouvre aujourd'hui des contenus multiples. L'article se donne pour objectif de contribuer à en préciser la portée, à partir de l'analyse de l'activité des maisons de justice du Rhône. Qu'il s'agisse du traitement de la petitedélinquance ou de l'accès au droit, l'observation des pratiques conduit à relativiser l'ampleur d'une proximité géographique. De même, la proximité humaine a tendance à s'effacer, au profit de l'avènement d'une proximité temporelle. Cet effet des préoccupations identitaires de l'institutionjudiciaire rencontre en réalité — et c'est ce qui apparaît intéressant — les attentes des différents acteurs locaux.

Examines the tensions that exist within the restorative justice movement as it seeks to construct for itself a collective identity and define its broader goals. Contends that the "marginal" status claimed by most restorative justice practitioners, are more imagined than real; indeed, restorative justice programs appear largely as "outsiders within" the criminal justice system. Nonetheless, it may be possible for restorative justice programs to pursue a specific form of nomadism that would serve as the basis for transformative interventions into the criminal justice system.
