ABSTRACT
This chapter draws on interview with feminist activists about the Women's Court held in Sarajevo and its work in order to bolster the dearth of empirical research. It discusses the Women's Court in Sarajevo failed to bring feminist activists and female witnesses belonging to different ethnic groups together. The chapter examines, if and how the Court in Sarajevo succeeded in doing this, and thereby contributed to two important justice goals –recognition and representation. People's tribunals have been largely praised for 'building solidarity and networks, and recording and memorialising otherwise unacknowledged experiences. The Court aimed to 'deliver public condemnations' at the end of its proceedings, but so far, the Judicial Council has published only preliminary decisions and recommendations. In transitional justice scholarship there is an overarching agreement that civil society organisations have played an important role in 'promoting and supporting transitional justice experiments around the world'.
