Director: Elizabeth Neuffer, 1998-99 Edward R. Murrow Press Fellow, Council on Foreign Relations February 1, 1999 - April 1, 1999
This roundtable examined what the aims of post-war justice should be and how the institutions set up to deliver justice have succeeded or failed in meeting those expectations. Participants and speakers drew on victims’ accounts, the work of legal scholars, aid workers and the military to help explore what post-war justice can accomplish. Questions included: is ‘justice’ better delivered by a local court than by an international court?; does it have more impact if it is delivered in the form of truth-telling, rather than a court of law?; and how do other forces involved in post-war reconciliation, like business investment, play a role in spurring justice along? Speakers included Alexander L. Boraine, Aryeh Neier, William L. Nash, USA (Ret.), Diane Paul, and Gabrielle Kirk McDonald. Elizabeth Neuffer is writing a book on post-war justice issues in Bosnia and Rwanda.
