Doctoral Research: Reconciliation in the Aftermath of Mass Victimisation

Stefanie is currently a PhD candidate the Irish Centre for Human Rights. Her study focuses on post-conflict situations in which atrocities such as genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes were committed.  It is argued, that if peace-building and long-term reconciliation are to come about, attention needs to be given to other approaches than punishment and retribution. This study examines whether and how restorative justice mechanisms, like the ones for example developed in East Timor by its Commission for Reception, Truth and Reconciliation, can be a valuable approach in dealing with conflict situations that include mass victimisation and how to reintegrate and rehabilitate former combatants through judicial and non-judicial mechanisms.
