Implementing transformative justice: survivors and ex-combatants at the Comisión de la Verdad y Reconciliación in Peru

Rebekka Friedman

ABSTRACT

Interest has recently increased in transformative justice. While transformative justice research offers an important contribution to transitional justice, I discuss challenges in its implementation. Drawing on research on affected communities and practitioners at the Comisión de la Verdad y Reconciliación in Peru, I question whether there are tensions between addressing micro and macro causes of conflict and in representing and integrating survivors and ex-combatants. While scholars and practitioners have importantly linked transformative justice to the reconfiguration of macro socio-economic structural injustices, more attention is needed to micro drivers of conflict. I outline a tension for a desire for more established punitive justice (prosecution of perpetrators and reparations for survivors) and the need to engage and reintegrate ex-combatants. These challenges are acute in conflict transitions, where transitional justice has taken on more expansive goals of peace-building. More recognition is also important of lingering legacies of violence and practical impediments.
