This book offers a comparative and critical study of experiences of participation in transitional justice. Based on a detailed study of 35 transitional justice experiences in 20 countries, the document explores the different scenarios that have allowed victims and civil society to participate in the promotion, adoption and implementation of measures of truth, justice, reparation and guarantees of non-repetition, and illustrates the potential and limitations of such participation in different contexts.
