Descripción del proyecto
El vínculo de la justicia transicional y la consolidación de la paz
Después de que se produzcan violaciones de los derechos humanos masivas y generalizadas, la reconciliación es fundamental para la reconstrucción de las relaciones. Los procesos de justicia transicional son vitales para prevenir la repetición de un conflicto violento e impulsar una paz duradera. Se necesita contar con más conocimientos empíricos y teóricos que expliquen la interacción de la justicia transicional y los procesos de reconciliación en la consolidación de la paz. Con el objetivo de cerrar esta brecha, el proyecto financiado con fondos europeos InterTJRPB comparará procesos en contextos diferentes. Se servirá de un método comparativo de estudios de casos para investigar el tema en Argelia y Ruanda. Los resultados ayudarán a la toma de decisiones basada en pruebas, un proceso que actualmente se basa en unos datos deficientes, las evaluaciones «ex ante» y la especulación.
Objetivo
The interplay between transitional justice and reconciliation processes in peacebuilding is still a rather empirically under researched issue. Existing literature on these processes and their relationship has remained normative, as most studies have lacked an examination of their overall effectiveness, and have not attempted to compare the impact such processes can have on society, at large, across different countries. The result has been a knowledge gap, which has produced decision-making based on weak data, ex-ante evaluation and speculation. Although there are some important insights from various single cases, we still need more in-depth empirical and theoretical inquiries, as well as comparison between cases, in order to explain how the interplay between transitional justice and reconciliation processes works in practice across different contexts. This research project aims to address this gap through a comparison of how various transitional justice and reconciliation mechanisms function and how their combination affects peacebuilding, either positively or negatively, across two countries—Algeria and Rwanda. Methodologically, the project’s design is that it is a comparative qualitative case study that proposes to use a novel methodological approach of participatory visual methods combining photo-voice and art, along with elicitation and auto-driving. This novel method in peacebuilding is to be combined with interviews and documentation to ensure triangulation of evidence.
