An internationally-renowned scholar in the fields of international and transitional justice, Diane Orentlicher provides an unparalleled account of an international tribunal's impact in societies that have the greatest stake in its work. In
Some Kind of Justice: The ICTY's Impact in Bosnia and Serbia, Orentlicher explores the evolving domestic impact of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), which operated longer than any other
international war crimes court. Drawing on hundreds of research interviews and a rich body of inter-disciplinary scholarship, Orentlicher provides a path-breaking account of how the Tribunal influenced domestic political developments, victims' experience of justice, acknowledgement of wartime atrocities, and
domestic war crimes prosecutions, as well as the dynamic factors behind its evolving influence in each of these spheres. Highlighting the perspectives of Bosnians and Serbians,
Some Kind of Justice offers important and practical lessons about how international criminal courts can improve the delivery of justice. Some kind of Justice is an indispensable book, not just on the ICTY but on the impact (real and potential) of international courts of justice. Unusually combining legal analysis and extensive (and long term) field research, it is a book that could only come about through the exercise of a brilliant mind, attuned to social science, regional history and politics. Its intellectual rigor and sensitivity to plural (and dynamic) criteria of success offer a model
for how to overcome romantic or cynical views about international justice. No one interested in that debate can afford not to ponder this book. * Pablo de Greiff, First UN Special Rapporteur for the promotion of truth, justice, reparation and guarantees of non-recurrence (2012-2018) * Diane Orentlicher has written a superbly researched and nuanced assessment of the ICTY's impact on the communities most implicated in, and affected by, the atrocities of the wars in the former Yugoslavia. From this rich study, she draws broader lessons about the promises and limitations of international criminal justice institutions for the local populations they are most meant to serve. It is essential reading for commentators and actors who are thinking about the
design of such mechanisms and the role they can play in transitional justice processes. * Alex Whiting, Professor of Practice, Harvard Law School * No war crimes tribunal since Nuremberg so tested the world's will to see justice done as the ICTY. Diane
