Dit boek onderzoekt hoe internationale actoren in Sub-Sahara Afrika omgaan met traditionele rechtsinstellingen en mechanismen voor geschillenbeslechting in het kader van transitional justice en ontwikkelingshulp aan de justitiesector. Daartoe werden het beleid en de interventies van internationale actoren in zes landen (Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda, Oeganda, Sierra Leone en Zambia) geanalyseerd. Donoren blijken geen specifiek beleid te hebben inzake het gebruik van traditionele mechanismen in transitional justice en laten zich vooral leiden door het belang van lokaal eigenaarschap en respect voor mensenrechten, hetgeen tot spanningen leidt. In ontwikkelingshulp aan de justitiesector is er al wat meer aandacht voor traditioneel recht, alhoewel dit beperkt blijft tot officiële traditioneelrechtelijke structuren, terwijl interventies inzake onofficieel recht aan actoren van het maatschappelijke middenveld worden overgelaten.

This collection of essays interrogates how human rights law and practice acquire meaning in relation to legal pluralism, ie, the co-existence of more than one regulatory order in a same social field. As a social phenomenon, legal pluralism exists in all societies. As a legal construction, it is characteristic of particular regions, such as post-colonial contexts. Drawing on experiences from Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa and Europe, the contributions in this volume analyse how different configurations of legal pluralism interplay with the legal and the social life of human rights. At the same time, they enquire into how human rights law and practice influence interactions that are subject to regulation by more than one normative regime. Aware of numerous misunderstandings and of the mutual suspicion that tends to exist between human rights scholars and anthropologists, the volume includes contributions from experts in both disciplines and intends to build bridges between normative and empirical theory
