The term "transitional justice" gained prominence towards the close of the Cold War, coinciding with the process of transitioning from authoritarian regimes to democratic societies. It serves as a fundamental concept in addressing systemic injustices. This textbook delves into the core principles of transitional justice and examines its various mechanisms, such as prosecutions, amnesties, truth commissions, reparations, and public service vetting. It elaborates on the substance and legal framework of these mechanisms, while also addressing current challenges.

The book offers a comprehensive exploration of transitional justice situations through extensive material. Notably, "This book summarizes the subjects of transitional justice and Vergangenheitsbewältigung systematically and clearly" (Joachim Gauck, German Federal President, 2012-2017).
