Summary
A Palestinian NGO named in Chapter 6 of Rethinking Statehood in Palestine, with the Israeli NGO Zochrot, among the proponents of Transitional justice for Palestine/Israel (Rethinking Statehood in Palestine, PDF p.177-178).
Details
- For proponents of transitional justice in Palestine/Israel — especially NGOs such as Zochrot and BADIL — truth commissions figure high on the list of mechanisms to deal with the Nakba, because they can expose perpetrators of ethnic cleansing and provide a platform for its victims (PDF p.178).
- The chapter groups BADIL with Masalha and other intellectuals concluding that transitional justice is appealing because it prescribes a wide range of mechanisms for the Nakba, supports integrative solutions and allows a swift transition from the status quo (PDF p.177, n.29).
