Episode 3: Transitional Justice

In this third episode of "Dead Men Walking", we turn our attention to transitional justice. Has the promise of accountability after conflict reached a breaking point? Has the gap between what transitional justice aspires to deliver and what it actually achieves become untenable? Or is transitional justice more resilient and transformative than its critics argue?To examine these questions, IFIT Senior Research Specialist Dr. Jasmina Brankovic sits down with three leading expert voices from IFIT's 400+ global network: Prof. Ron Slye, Professor of Law at the Seattle University School of Law; Dr. Asli Ozcelik Olcay, Senior Lecturer in International Law at the University of Glasgow; and Javier Ciurlizza, Ford Foundation’s director for the Andean Region. Together, they reflect on whether or not the idealistic assumptions and claims of transitional justice require adaptation to survive in the face of a changed conflict and rule of law landscape."Dead Men Walking": Conversations on Global Norms and Institutions is a podcast series produced by the Institute for Integrated Transitions (IFIT) in collaboration with JusticeInfo.net. In each episode, we bring together leading thinkers and practitioners from IFIT's global expert network to take an honest look at the problems afflicting 20th century global norms and institutions and to consider the new ideas needed for a changing world order.
