It starts with a discussion of the significance of justice from a human security perspective and emphasises how a spectrum of abuse and criminality \u2013 human rights abuse, organised crime, corruption \u2013 is at the heart of today\u2019s conflicts. The paper then assesses EU justice policies and practices in relation to three human security principles: the primacy of human rights, a bottom-up approach and a regional approach. We argue that EU engagement in justice issues plays out differently in \u2018liberal peace\u2019 and \u2018war on terror\u2019 contexts, and draw on evidence from the Balkans and Afghanistan to illuminate some of these differences. The final section highlights the main challenges for the EU in advancing justice for atrocity crimes and economic crimes, and offers a set of recommendations for aligning EU justice policies with a human security approach. In particular, we argue for a shift in thinking about the role and potential of justice in today\u2019s conflicts and identify the key elements and resources needed for developing an alternative approach.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Download paper: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.recom.link\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/EU-Approaches-to-Justice-in-Conflict-and-Transition-1.pdf\" rel=\"\">EU Approaches to Justice in Conflict and Transition<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This is a background paper commissioned by The Human Security Study Group for The Berlin Report, presented to High Representative&#8230; ","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":137904,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[594],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-137902","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-transitional-justice"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.6 -
