Peacebuilding and Transitional Justice In The Solomon Island

Peacebuilding and Transitional Justice in the Solomon Islands: A Case Study explores the country’s efforts to heal from the ethnic tensions of the late 1990s and early 2000s. Published by the Solomon Islands Trauma Healing Association (SITHA) and Asia Justice and Rights (AJAR), this study examines the root causes of conflict, the role of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), and the ongoing challenges of justice, reparations, and community healing. Through extensive research and firsthand accounts, it highlights the impact of unresolved grievances, the resilience of local communities, and the critical role of women and youth in peacebuilding. While peacebuilding initiatives have been relatively successful, the book underscores the need for legal reforms, trauma recovery programs, and inclusive policies to ensure long-term stability. A valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and activists, this case study offers crucial insights into the complexities of transitional justice and the path toward sustainable peace in the Solomon Islands.
