☮️Ultimately, the multitude of voices at the local level may 'complicate' current TJ approaches but if they are heeded they will provide greater potential for addressing victims' concerns and everyday needs and this will ensure that TJ is closer to becoming more #victimcentric & context-specific.

⚠️The key is not to impose a pre-determined set of notions and institutions, but rather, through deep #engagement with the affected #communities, to let people articulate their needs regarding post-conflict processes.

📣I argue meaningful attempts to broaden #participation in TJ should go beyond consultations and information-sharing to ensure victims are partners and decision-makers. These attempts should take part at every stage of the TJ process.

🌍The complex #identities of individuals in post-conflict environments have implications for the ways external actors engage with TJ in Nepal and other post-conflict contexts. These pertain to who victims are, but also what they need and want.

🗣️Victims have articulated their needs in #Nepal highlighting the different conceptions of justice between & within various TJ actors. I argue there are disconnections btw the ways TJ actors perceive & operationalise justice that fail to adequately embrace victims' #everyday lives.

💡Accordingly, I advocate for greater consideration of actors' interests and #local politics - the politics that predate, were impacted by and emerge after the conflict- and, in turn, both actors' and politics' impact on TJ.

🔍The book demonstrates TJ is a particular form and vision of #politics and as a political project TJ introduces and catalyses new political dynamics in post-conflict countries. While there has been a modest push to recognise the politics of TJ, there has been limited guidance on how to do so.

📚The book provides insights into Nepal and other #postconflict contexts. I examine the different ways actors engage with and mould TJ. I argue that actors frequently seek to advance their interests and make claims utilising the process, institutions and language of TJ.
