It will be of use to legal scholars, and to those interested in the role of the public sphere who would like a more nuanced understanding of the role of criminal courts within transitional justice frameworks. -- Alison Atkinson-Phillips, Newcastle University * Historical Dialogues, Justice, And Memory Network *
