Reviews

'This book is a rigorous, fascinating, and provocative analysis of the dramatic challenge faced when pursuing peace and, at the same time, accountability. The authors' robust, honest, and sometimes controversial reflections make this a must-read for those who want to understand the theory and practice of negotiating transitional justice and ending violent conflict. The lessons it offers can literally save lives.' Catalina Botero Marino, Universidad de los Andes 'Transitional justice is a central issue in many peace talks, yet there is remarkably little literature focusing on how demands of accountability can be harmonised with political pragmatism. This book makes an original and important contribution, both in general theoretical terms and through the authors' firsthand account of the complex negotiation between the Colombian government and the FARC. I strongly recommend the book not only to scholars, but also to practitioners from the fields of mediation and transitional justice.' Christine Bell, University of Edinburgh 'What does it mean to negotiate justice and accountability issues inside a peace process? Drawing on their direct experience of the Colombian peace talks with the FARC, Freeman and Orozco have produced a book of exceptional intellectual honesty and mastery. Their ideas and insights could change the way diplomats, peacemakers, human rights activists, and warring factions of all sorts understand and deal with a key political dilemma of our time.' Thierry Cruvellier, Editor-in-Chief, JusticeInfo.net 'In this timely and seminal book, Freeman and Orozco address an issue at the heart of the current discussion on transitional justice in Colombia and beyond: How much justice - and what form - is needed to build lasting peace? This book should be required reading for anyone interested in tracing the development of the Colombian transitional justice model as well as in understanding the tough political discussions that accompanied this process.'
