Transitional justice measures are frequently expected to help promote peace in conflict-affected countries, through measures that rely heavily upon legal or legalized processes such as trials and commissions of inquiry. They are also often expected to influence or promote reform in legal processes and institutions, including the judiciary, the constitution, and legislation, in ways that are expected to help promote peace in future post-conflict states. However, not only is the evidence of the role of law in promoting peace through transitional justice a mixed one, but more importantly, the emphasis on transitional justice often overlooks the ways in which law is expected to play a role in promoting peace more broadly and in ways intertwined with transitional justice, through rule of law promotion, often by international actors, and through peace agreements that include specific institutional and governance measures, including power-sharing arrangements. These rule of law and governance measures similarly have a mixed record with regard to their effects for either short- or long-term peace. Closer analysis of the role of law and legalized mechanisms in producing or supporting peace is needed, including analysis of the types of law and mechanisms deployed. Drawing on fieldwork in Sierra Leone, Uganda, Colombia, Kenya, Sri Lanka, and Sudan, among others, this paper will elaborate on the challenges of using law for peace via governance and rule of law measures, as well as through transitional justice.

超越过渡正义：和平、治理和法治

人们经常期望过渡时期司法措施通过严重依赖法律或合法化程序（例如审判和调查委员会）的措施来帮助促进受冲突影响国家的和平。他们还经常被期望以有助于促进未来冲突后国家和平的方式影响或促进法律程序和机构的改革，包括司法、宪法和立法。然而，不仅法律在通过过渡时期司法促进和平方面作用的证据是混合的，而且更重要的是，对过渡时期司法的强调往往忽视了法律在更广泛和更广泛的层面上促进和平的作用。以与过渡时期司法交织在一起的方式，通过促进法治，通常是由国际行为者，并通过和平协议，包括具体的体制和治理措施，包括权力分享安排。这些法治和治理措施对短期或长期和平的影响同样有不同的记录。需要更仔细地分析法律和合法化机制在产生或支持和平方面的作用，包括分析所部署的法律和机制的类型。本文将借鉴在塞拉利昂、乌干达、哥伦比亚、肯尼亚、斯​​里兰卡和苏丹等国的实地调查，详细阐述通过治理和法治措施以及过渡时期司法利用法律促进和平的挑战。这些法治和治理措施对短期或长期和平的影响同样有不同的记录。需要更仔细地分析法律和合法化机制在产生或支持和平方面的作用，包括分析所部署的法律和机制的类型。本文将借鉴在塞拉利昂、乌干达、哥伦比亚、肯尼亚、斯​​里兰卡和苏丹等国的实地调查，阐述通过治理和法治措施以及过渡时期司法，利用法律促进和平的挑战。这些法治和治理措施对短期或长期和平的影响同样有不同的记录。需要更仔细地分析法律和合法化机制在产生或支持和平方面的作用，包括分析所部署的法律和机制的类型。本文将借鉴在塞拉利昂、乌干达、哥伦比亚、肯尼亚、斯​​里兰卡和苏丹等国的实地调查，阐述通过治理和法治措施以及过渡时期司法，利用法律促进和平的挑战。
