Accountability and Redress for the Injustices of Displacement: Introduction

Continuing the collaboration between the Brookings-LSE Project on Internal Displacement and the International Center for Transitional Justice (ICTJ) on the links between forced migration and transitional justice, Brookings Fellow Megan Bradley and ICTJ Senior Associate Roger Duthie recently co-edited a special issue of the Journal of Refugee Studies on “Accountability and Redress for the Injustices of Displacement.”

This special issue brings together leading and emerging researchers in the fields of forced migration and transitional justice. The special edition examines issues including the relationship between reparations and the resolution of displacement; the role of diaspora groups in transitional justice and reconciliation processes; the links between displacement, transitional justice and disarmament, demobilization and reintegration efforts; the repair of everyday social relationships in communities emerging from mass displacement and war; and legal empowerment of the displaced.
