ABSTRACT
Transitional justice is an eminently broad and complex field. Literature on the topic has significantly proliferated in recent years and involves different disciplines. While there are a number of socio-political elements and justice theories that directly influence transitional justice solutions in the field, it is widely accepted that confronting impunity, seeking redress and preventing recurrence of human rights abuses, as well as facilitating social reconciliation, are the main goals of transitional justice. Every single transition is unique. Domestic and international political, historical and sociocultural dynamics of each particular case certainly define the way in which transitional justice processes are designed and implemented. Whereas indivisibility and interrelatedness of all human rights have been well proclaimed in international human rights law, transitional justice has been traditionally focused on the most egregious human rights abuses, which were often limited to bodily integrity violations such as killings, tortures, arbitrary detentions and disappearances.
