Environmental Restorative Justice in Transitional Settings

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Palgrave Handbook of Environmental Restorative Justice

Abstract

Killean considers the applicability of Environmental Restorative Justice (ERJ) in transitional settings. Bringing critical transitional justice scholarship into dialogue with the emerging body of environmental restorative justice literature, this chapter argues that ERJ offers a challenge to two of the transitional justice field’s limitations. First, an ERJ approach offers a challenge to transitional justice’s anthropocentrism, by creating space for the recognition and representation of other-than-human victims of conflict. Second, ERJ offers a challenge to the field’s neo-colonial tendencies, by facilitating the design of mechanisms that are more inclusive of Indigenous harms and understandings of justice. By entrenching an ERJ ethos, the chapter argues that transitional justice may present one effective vehicle for rethinking relationships between diverse human communities and the natural world.
