It essentially calls for the prosecution of those who did not receive amnesty for the crimes they committed during the apartheid conflict. This book provides the first comprehensive analysis of prosecutions after the amnesty process. Drawing on interviews with key protagonists and largely unpublished documents, the volume analyses trials and the political background. It scrutinises the issue in the normative framework of national and international human rights law, and addresses whether the prosecutions were adequately carried out. The study thus allows a concluding evaluation of the justice and consistency of South Africa’s internationally acclaimed amnesty process.Political crimes and offensesSouth AfricaTruth commissionsSouth AfricaAmnestySouth AfricaElectronic books.Political crimes and offensesTruth commissionsAmnesty342.6808/50264Bubenzer Ole958673MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910460312403321Post-TRC prosecutions in South Africa2172275UNINA
