Summary
Transitional justice aspires to dealing with the aftermath of large-scale international crimes perpetrated during dictatorships, in countries at war, or as a result of organized crime. Scholars, diplomats, politicians, activists, community leaders, and United Nations officials have long recognized the resettlement and reintegration of refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) as an essential pillar of transitional justice. In particular, the post-conflict reconstruction efforts in post-1948 Israel and Palestine, and during the post-1995 era in the Balkans, prioritized the legal obligation of states to permit refugees and IDPs to return to their homes and become full members of society.
