title = {Transitional justice and reconciliation from the international peace-building perspectiveRemzije Istrefi},
year = {2017},
note = {In the last decades, international actors have played an influential
and catalytic role in facilitating justice and reconciling divided
societies through post-conflict peacebuilding missions. Peacebuilding
missions not only provide an intermediary role between former enemies
but have become an effective participant in activities that form part
of the mechanisms of transitional justice. In doing so, these actors
take on the role of a ‘moral agent’ which very often lacks
political trust and trust responsiveness. The objective of this
article is to review theoretical critiques on the practice of
peacebuilding missions in transitional justice processes and to
evaluate their contribution to shaping the concept of reconciliation.
It will analyse the effect of such critiques and discuss whether the
existing theoretical criticism fundamentally changes the dominant
concepts of transitional justice or if there is a potential
requirement for the absorption of this criticism into the existing
corpus of knowledge in the field as a way of advancing the development
of international peacebuilding activities.},
