The field of transitional justice is a recent academic discipline that still lacks an agreed-upon theoretical basis. Using an inductive methodology based on one key component of transitional justice—namely, truth commissions—African Truth Commissions and Transitional Justice attempts to place them within the context of other elements such as trials of human rights abusers, the strengths and weaknesses of amnesty, and the importance of memorialization.
