Building on her path-breaking Unspeakable Truths, Priscilla Hayner expands her focus on truth commissions to explore peace negotiations and conflict resolution in the world's toughest cases of civil war. Drawing on first-hand involvement in the peace process and dozens of interviews with peacemakers and war criminals, Hayner shows the peace vs. justice debate in action and offers a model for balancing the concerns of ending the violence and righting wartime wrongs. The Peacemaker's Paradox delves into fresh new case studies like Gaddafi's Libya and the FARC in Colombia, and probes the ICC's role and offers recommendations for harnessing its power in even the most intractable conflicts.
