Title Improving Governance and Rule of Law or Upholding the Status Quo? Transitional Justice Processes in Post Conflict Liberia
Summary Transitional justice processes have become a vital component of any peacebuilding and post conflict reconstruction efforts and have been receiving much attention within the global justice arena. This research is an attempt to make visible the experiences of post conflict Liberia in implementing transitional justice processes as part of a broader post conflict reconstruction agenda to realize a more stable country and also to improve the fragile peace and security situation. By engaging with the mechanisms chosen by the state, this research reveals how these mechanisms have been implemented and how these processes are contributing to improving the face of governance and rule of law. The research finding points to the fact that for the mechanisms of transitional justice to succeed more efforts is required beyond the rhetoric of adopting them as a means of national reconciliation, healing and institutional restructuring.
