Future of Peace

In this timely book, Alexandra Harrington examines the legal and policy terms contained in transitional justice mechanisms through the lenses of intergenerational equity and justice, and the impact on current and future generations. Based on these findings, she offers a new definition of transitional justice that focuses on generational incorporation to ensure a durable, equitable and just peace.Proposing a more nuanced definition of transitional justice in the setting of internal armed conflict, chapters address both the histories and the analyses of different conflicts. Harrington reviews the core findings and their potential impacts for crafting transitional justice mechanisms that are inclusive of the needs of children and youth, current and future generations, intergenerational equity and intergenerational justice. The book also focuses on the variety of agreements and instruments adopted for peace through trend analysis and information gathering.The Future of Peace will be a valuable resource for legal scholars and academics interested in conflict and peace studies. Those interested in human rights law and public international law will also find this to be a beneficial read.
