TLSI Keynote 2016: Professor Ruti Teitel

Globalising Transitional Justice Ruti Teitel is the Ernst C. Stiefel Professor of Comparative Law at the New York Law School, and a Visiting Fellow at the London School of Economics. More than two decades on since the early post–Cold War period, how have the central questions changed? At present, the talk will argue, the changes amount to a ‘global’ paradigm of transitional justice. The very problem of justice is being reconceptualised through a global politics of accountability, often in the context of weak rather than strong states, and beyond the primary focus on abuses of state power with evident implications for the transformative challenge. Accountability for past wrongs is being demanded in situations where there is no clear or consolidated political transition. Indeed, there is evidence of its normalisation to intra-conflict. Consider some of the claims to transitional justice during the Balkans conflict and now in the Arab awakening, for example, Egypt, Libya or in the Syrian war.
