Scenarios about 'transitional justice'

Transitional justice refers to the array of processes and mechanisms used by societies addressing legacies of widespread human rights abuses during transitions from conflict or authoritarian rule to democracy. These approaches include criminal prosecutions, truth commissions, reparations programs, and institutional reforms that aim to provide accountability, serve justice, achieve reconciliation, and prevent future atrocities. In alternate history scenarios, different applications of transitional justice often represent critical divergence points that can fundamentally alter a nation's political development and social healing.
