The effectiveness of transitional justice (TJ) is measured by the achievement of its goals of justice, reconciliation, healing, and peace in countries transitioning to non-authoritarian rule. This article evaluates the TJ experience in Libya the aftermath of the Qadhafi regime, revealing contextual challenges to TJ in Libya from 2011. The findings indicate a close relationship between contextual factors (political context, type of conflict, institutional context) and the trajectory of TJ. Libya’s fragile statehood, the nature and the scale of ongoing conflicts, and interference of various regional and external actors have undermined Libya’s political transition and complicated prospects for peace and reconciliation. Within the context of political and territorial division and continued human rights violations, the study concludes that Libya’s TJ model has been inappropriate and has failed to achieve its ambitious goals. Finally, the article advocates a transformative approach to transitional justice appropriate to this non-paradigmatic case of transition.

过渡时期司法 (TJ) 的有效性是通过在过渡到非专制统治的国家实现其正义、和解、治愈与和平目标来衡量的。本文评估了卡扎菲政权后 TJ 在利比亚的经历，揭示了自 2011 年以来利比亚 TJ 面临的背景挑战。研究结果表明背景因素（政治背景、冲突类型、制度背景）与 TJ 的轨迹之间存在密切关系. 利比亚脆弱的国家地位、持续冲突的性质和规模，以及各种区域和外部行为体的干预，破坏了利比亚的政治过渡，以及复杂的和平与和解前景。在政治和领土分裂以及持续侵犯人权的情况下，该研究得出的结论是，利比亚的 TJ 模式是不合适的，并且未能实现其雄心勃勃的目标。最后，本文提倡一种适用于这种非范式过渡案例的过渡司法的变革方法。
