Evaluate the effectiveness of transitional justice mechanisms—truth commissions, criminal prosecutions, and reparations—in post-conflict and post-authoritarian contexts by comparing South Africa, Chile, and Rwanda. Test learners’ ability to apply evaluation criteria (accountability, reconciliation, victim redress, rule of law, political stability), analyze contextual drivers and methodological approaches, weigh trade-offs and limitations, and formulate evidence-based policy recommendations grounded in comparative case evidence.
