Synopsis

This study concerns the role of criminal trials in democratic
transitions. Such trials and transitions are judged in various ways by
lawyers, activists, and scholars. We ought to evaluate transitions to
democracy with greater attention to the kind of public discussion they
foster concerning the human rights abuse perpetrated by authoritarian
rulers, recently deposed. We should evaluate the prosecution of these
perpetrators in light of how it influences such public deliberation.
