Traditional justice is a rapidly
growing interdisciplinary field of study focusing on processes dealing with
past human rights violations and the transition to a more peaceful and more
democratic state. Much of the traditional justice discourse and practice
reflects international legal and human rights perspectives on the goals of
traditional justice which prioritize accountability and deterrence. In this
unit of study we view traditional justice as being concerned primarily with
fostering sustainable peace and reconciliation in communities recovering from
mass violence and violations of human rights. This will enable students to
understand, compare and decide on which system is best for the community to
adopt
