The book presents the case study of evolution of transitional justice policies designed by Ukraine in the context of the Donbas conflict. It offers a theoretical introduction, discusses the specific context of relevant decisions, and analyses the policies aimed at achieving three normative goals: truth-seeking, retribution, and restoration.
Should we punish wrongdoers? Should we take care of the ones who suffered from wrongdoings? Although we may believe answers to these questions are obvious, they become less so when similar questions are asked under exceptional circumstances, such as armed conflicts. These answers may decide about the continuation of hostilities or their end. The stakes are high, while we can hardly ignore the need to deal with the consequences of violence generated by a conflict.
This book discusses the dilemmas and challenges associated with the provision of justice in the context of the armed conflict in Ukrainian Donbas in 2014–2019.
