Gender and Transitional Justice

<p>This book provides the first comprehensive feminist analysis of the role of international law in the formal transitional justice mechanisms. Using East Timor as a case study it offers reflections on transitional justice administered by a UN transitional administration. Often presented as a UN success story the author demonstrates that in spite of women and children's rights programmes of the UN and other donors justice for women has deteriorated in post-conflict Timor and violence has remained a constant in their lives.</p>
