The dominant current view is that societies seeking reconciliation should employ a variety of transitional justice mechanisms rather than just one.
“The dominant current view is that societies seeking reconciliation should employ a variety of transitional justice mechanisms rather than just one -echoing what Fletcher and Weinstein (2002) suggested a decade ago.128”

Transitional justice can, under some conditions, lead to an easing of state-level repression because it sends signals to violent state agents that the old way of ruling, through surveillance and coercion, is no longer acceptable.
“our previous work has shown that transitional justice can, under some conditions, lead to an easing of statelevel repression because it sends signals to violent state agents that the old way of ruling, through surveillance and coercion, is no longer acceptable.12”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
