Focusing on the experiences of families affected by conflict and political violence, this book examines transitional justice through the lens of those who have lost loved ones in Nepal and Timor-Leste. It critiques how current practices often prioritize elite agendas over the specific needs of predominantly poor and rural victims. By highlighting the disconnection between global rights discourse and local needs, it advocates for a victim-centered approach that truly addresses the priorities of affected families, offering a deeper understanding of transitional justice's limitations.
