In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

Justice and the Rule of Law There can be no peace without justice. But after the terrible wrongs that are committed during wars and conflicts, the pure pursuit of justice may itself become an obstacle to a longed for and lasting peace. There is an evolving acceptance of the importance of truth and reconciliation commissions and the healing significance of the admission of guilt as complementary tools in post conflict resolution .
