This book draws from two bodies of literaturepeace building and transitional justiceto examine whether truth-telling mechanisms can contribute to sustainable peace and  if so  how and under what conditions. The authors approach these questions by examining whether truth telling contributes to the following elements  all of which are deemed to be constitutive of sustainable peace: reconciliation  human rights  gender equity  restorative justice  the rule of law  the mitigation of violence  and the healing of trauma. While the transitional-justice literature appears to have grasped the importance of truth telling for securing sustainable peace  few studies have undertaken empirical analysis and evaluations of the long-term impact of such mechanisms. Contributors to this interdisciplinary volumefrom the fields of political science  law  anthropology  psychology  philosophy  and theologyaccomplish that by closely examining how societies emerging from violence must in some way examine  acknowledge  and account for violence committed in the past in order to move forward.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45960380350517,"sku":"ByrdShop_026802197X","price":46.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780268021979.jpg?v=1788285547","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/telling-the-truths-truth-telling-and-peace-building-in-postconflict-societies-the-rirec-project-on-postaccord-peace-building-9780268021979","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
