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.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
