This paper conceptualizes the role of transitional justice in peace building by focusing on South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission. It argues that building sustainable peace in societies that suffered protracted conflict or human rights abuse calls not only for short-term measures that aim at normalizing relations, but also for long-term societal transformations that bring about improvements in people’s way of life and better satisfy their basic human needs.
