Overview
Accessing human rights and justice mechanisms is a pressing issue in global politics. Although an understanding of justice is inherent in broad human rights discourses, there is no clear consensus on how to develop adequate means of accessing them in order to make a difference in people's lives. Further, expansions of the boundaries of both human rights and justice make any clear and settled understanding of the relation difficult to ascertain. This proposed edited volume tackle these issues in a coherent and complementary manner. It focuses on the dilemmas of accessing and implementing human rights and justice across a range of temporal and empirical contexts. Split into two sections, the first section discusses issues surrounding accessing and implementing human rights and justice in times of war, and the second section during the transition towards peace.The contributors to this volume represent a range of disciplinary backgrounds and diverse voices from around the world, and offer empirical examples from Tunisia, Uganda, Argentina and Syria among others. This work will be of interest to students and scholars of international relations, human rights, and humanitarianism and conflict response.
