ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the operationalization of a temporal, a socio-economic and a gender dimension, and on the practical realization of holistic and legacy-inclusive ways of dealing with the past. To emphasize the wider importance of holistic transitional justice, it extends the purview beyond Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH). The chapter explores two important ways in which the temporal boundaries of transitional justice can be broadened. Firstly, transitional justice processes should entail follow-up work with survivors. In BiH, the heavy emphasis on criminal prosecutions, combined with the prevailing international discourse of 'no impunity', underscores the particular importance of follow-up work by courts. Secondly, there is a critical need for local NGOs to be more involved in transitional justice practice. The creation of memorials honouring survivors – male and female – of rape and sexual violence could contribute to tackling some of the stigma surrounding these crimes, both in BiH and further afield.
