Linking Transitional Justice and Development

„It is far too easy to say that Justice and Development should naturally work together because they both aim to achieve improvement in peoples’ lives, and particularly in the lives of individuals and collectivities that have long been amongst the most vulnerable and least powerful. But we all know that, in practice, the efforts to pursue objectives of development and justice can present us with difficult choices and the need to establish priorities and resolve crucial dilemmas.”
