Abstract
This article discusses the inherent limitations of law in transitional justice processes regarding land grievances. Through analysis of the case of Timor-Leste (East Timor), a country marked by post-colonialism, post-authoritarianism, and post-conflict. The article shows how complex transitional justice regarding land grievances can be, and argues that a legalist perspective gives a limited view of these grievances, both for studying and finding solutions to them. The article employs the concept of ‘wicked problems’ to overcome the limitations of law. First, it shows how these grievances should be studied through a multi-disciplinary approach instead of a purely legal one. Second, it argues that transitional justice regarding land grievances is primarily a political issue, and creating adequate arenas for political negotiation should be prioritized. Finally, the article shows that, due to its complexity and political nature, transitional justice for land grievances is ultimately a search for acceptable, rather than optimal, solutions.

法律及其局限性:东帝汶的土地纠纷、邪恶问题和过渡时期正义

摘要
本文讨论了有关土地申诉的过渡司法程序中法律的固有局限性。通过对以后殖民主义、后威权主义和后冲突为标志的国家东帝汶(Timor-Leste)的案例进行分析。这篇文章展示了关于土地申诉的过渡司法是多么复杂,并认为法家视角对这些申诉给出了有限的看法,无论是研究还是寻找解决方案。文章采用“邪恶问题”的概念来克服法律的局限性。首先,它展示了如何通过多学科方法而不是纯粹的法律方法来研究这些申诉。其次,它认为关于土地申诉的过渡司法主要是一个政治问题,应优先考虑为政治谈判创造足够的场所。最后,本文表明,由于其复杂性和政治性质,土地申诉的过渡司法最终是寻求可接受的解决方案,而不是最佳解决方案。
