Is there a unique perspective to transitional justice?

Ordinary justice and transitional justice are significantly and distinctively different. As many studies will show, the qualities of ordinary justice assume there is in place a reasonable democratic system. This paper will identify the features of ordinary justice compared to transitional justice. The focus will be on: definitional perspective, timing arguments, and limitations of transitional justice both substantive and procedural. The general hypothesis is: a level of uncertainty makes transitional justice unique because it requires a fresh perspective every time. There is indeed something unique that arises from uncertainty.
