De la contraportada

This book offers theoretical arguments and empirical studies that demonstrate why  focusing on the interrelations of technology and transitional justice from a business and human rights approach is crucial to achieve basic objectives in terms of truth, justice, memory, reparation, and non-repetition measures in post-conflict settings. This book elaborates a theoretical framework to analyze these topics and applies the framework through case studies to examine potential influence of technology in transitional justice mechanisms. In this sense, it contributes with information and legal, economic, political, and institutional arguments in the agenda that interrelate these three main topics.
