- Title
Facing Up to the Past: Bystanders and Transitional Justice.
- Authors
Fletcher, Laurel E.
- Abstract
The author reflects on the conditions that foster reconciliation between bystanders and victims in war crimes, as well as the role that international criminal trials may play in this process. While bystanders, within the theories of transitional justice, are aware of the work of war crime trials or truth commissions, they are ignored in transitional justice mechanisms. The author cites the experience of Natasha, a Bosnian Serb, who had spent the war in a Bosnian Serb zone.
