Abstract

In recent years, the transitional justice framework has expanded to include a broader notion of transformative justice, which strives for socio-political reform in addition to legal accountability. Over the course of two civil wars, Sudan has grappled with various attempts at transition and transformation with mixed results. Though the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement brought an end to decades of North–South conflict, South Sudan’s subsequent descent into civil war has been characterised by a flawed transition and a lack of any immediate transformative potential.This paper analyses the Comprehensive Peace Agreement’s transitional mechanisms. In doing so, it explores how certain mechanisms frame the ‘meta-conflict’ about what the conflict is about, and how this can cut off a range of conflict resolution opportunities. It concludes by considering the legacy of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement in contemporary Sudan and South Sudan, and how it might inform the prospective transitions in both countries.

没有转型的过渡：苏丹全面和平协议的遗产

摘要

近年来，过渡时期司法框架已扩大到包括更广泛的转型司法概念，除法律问责制外，它还致力于社会政治改革。在两次内战的过程中，苏丹努力进行各种过渡和转型的尝试，但结果不一。尽管2005年的《全面和平协议》结束了数十年的南北冲突，但南苏丹随后陷入内战的特点是过渡存在缺陷，缺乏任何直接的变革潜力。本文分析了《全面和平协议》的过渡机制。在此过程中，它探讨了某些机制如何构成有关冲突的“元冲突”，以及这如何切断一系列解决冲突的机会。
