Reconciliation After Violent Conflict – A Handbook

Designed to inform, assist, and equip citizens and leaders in postviolence contexts, this practical handbook documents reconciliation processes, relationship-building strategies, and structures for coexistence. Drawing from case studies in Cambodia, Guatemala, Northern Ireland, Rwanda, South Africa, and Zimbabwe, an inventory of best practices and lessons learned is presented. Sensitive topics including victims, offenders, healing, justice, truth-telling, reparations, and role of the international community are covered.
