Description

Customary Justice and the Rule of Law in War-Torn Societies presents seven in-depth case studies that take a broad interdisciplinary approach to the study of the justice system. Moving beyond the narrow lens of legal analysis, the cases--Mozambique, Guatemala, East Timor, Afghanistan, Liberia, Iraq, Sudan--examine the larger historical, political, and social factors that shape the character and role of customary justice systems and their place in the overall justice sector
