Using Libya as a case study, this paper discusses the issue of how to go about the practice of restorative justice in a country undergoing political transition to democracy. The author highlights some of the opportunities and obstacles inherent to a transitional setting, calls for a deeper understanding of customary law as it is practiced in Libya, and suggests how customary law could be used to help establish restorative justice there.
