Making reconciliation work: the role of parliaments

A joint publication by the IPU and the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (International IDEA), this book aims to provide some insights into the role played by parliaments, not only of those countries directly affected by conflict, but also those of other countries, in coming to terms with the legacy of abuse that so often marks sustained periods of internal strife. The handbook provides a number of innovative examples of transitional justice experiences and concrete suggestions for parliamentarians as they support reconciliation.
