Religion & Transitional Justice

Colleen Murphy

Transitional justice refers to the process of dealing with human rights abuses committed during the course of ongoing conflict or repression, where such processes are established as a society aims to move toward a better state, and where a constitutive element of that better state includes democracy. A philosophical theory of transitional justice articulates what the moral criteria or standards are that processes of transitional justice must satisfy to qualify as just responses to past wrongdoing. This essay focuses on the roles of religion in transitional justice. I first consider the multiple and conflicting roles of religion during periods of conflict and repression. I then argue against conceptualizing transitional justice in a theologically grounded manner that emphasizes the importance of forgiveness. Finally, I discuss the prominent role that religious actors often play in processes of transitional justice. I close with the theoretical questions about authority and standing in transitional contexts that warrant further examination, questions that the roles of religious actors highlight. Thinking through the relationship between religion and democracy from the perspective of transitional justice is theoretically fruitful because it sheds more light on additional dimensions to the issue of authority than those scholars of liberal democracy have traditionally taken up.

宗教与过渡司法

过渡时期司法是指处理在持续的冲突或镇压过程中犯下的侵犯人权行为的过程,在这种过程中,建立这样的过程是因为社会旨在迈向一个更好的国家,而这个更好的国家的构成要素包括民主。过渡正义的哲学理论阐明了过渡正义的过程必须满足的道德标准或标准,才有资格作为对过去不法行为的公正回应。本文着重讨论宗教在过渡时期司法中的作用。我首先考虑宗教在冲突和压迫时期的多重和冲突作用。然后,我反对以神学为基础的方式概念化过渡司法,强调宽恕的重要性。最后,我讨论了宗教参与者在过渡司法过程中经常扮演的重要角色。我以关于权威和在过渡环境中的地位的理论性问题作为结尾,这些问题值得进一步研究,宗教行为者的角色强调了这些问题。从过渡司法的角度思考宗教与民主之间的关系在理论上是富有成果的,因为与传统上自由主义的学者相比,它在权威问题的其他方面提供了更多的启示。
