Mass victimization and restorative justice in Colombia

This book demonstrates that restorative justice constitutes a coherent vision of justice capable of finding solutions to the weaknesses of the conventional legal justice system. More precisely, this book explains why and how restorative justice could be applied during the Colombian transitional justice process. This explanation is based, on the one hand, on a thorough literature study of the field of transitional justice, the conventional and the restorative justice systems and the Colombian transitional justice process, and on the other hand, on unique empirical data gathered through interviews and focus groups carried out with 31 victims and 25 ex-combatants of the Colombian conflict.
