In the wake of massive injustice, how can justice be achieved and peace restored?        Is it possible to find a universal standard that will work for people of diverse and        often conflicting religious, cultural, and philosophical backgrounds?In Just and        Unjust Peace, Daniel Philpott offers an innovative and hopeful response to these        questions. He challenges the approach to peace-building that dominates the United        Nations, western governments, and the human rights community. While he shares their        commitments to human rights and democracy, Philpott argues that these values alone        cannot redress the wounds caused by war, genocide, and dictatorship. Both justice        and the effective restoration of political order call for a more holistic,        restorative approach. Philpott answers that call by proposing a form of political        reconciliation that is deeply rooted in three religious traditions--Christianity,        Islam, and Judaism--as well as the restorative justice movement. These traditions        offer the fullest expressions of the core concepts of justice, mercy, and peace. By        adapting these ancient concepts to modern constitutional democracy and international        norms, Philpott crafts an ethic that has widespread appeal and offers real hope for        the restoration of justice in fractured communities. From the roots of these        traditions, Philpott develops six practices--building just institutions and        relations between states, acknowledgment, reparations, restorative punishment,        apology and, most important, forgiveness--which he then applies to real cases,        identifying how each practice redresses a unique set of wounds.Focusing on places as        varied as Bosnia, Iraq, South Africa, Germany, Sierra Leone, Timor-Leste, Chile and        many others--and drawing upon the actual experience of victims and        perpetrators--Just and Unjust Peace offers a fresh approach to the age-old problem        of restoring justice in the aftermath of widespread injustice.
