CALL FOR PAPERS

2025-03-03

Deusto Journal of Human Rights / Revista Deusto de Derechos Humanos is planning a monograph on “The Road from Transitional Justice to Reconciliation” for its 16^th issue (December 2025).

The main goal of this Special Issue is to collectively reflect on the ways in which Transitional Justice (TJ) can (and cannot) contribute to Reconciliation in societies that have suffered gross and systematic violations of human rights in the context of violent conflicts. Against the background of the theoretical frameworks developed in the field of TJ, we will focus particularly in the four pillars of TJ: truth, justice, reparation and guarantees of non-repetition. Although not exclusively, our analysis will deal with three cases under scrutiny: Colombia, Northern Ireland and the Basque Country.

The Deusto Journal of Human Rights invites academics, researchers, practitioners and experts in the field to submit their contributions before the 15^th May 2025.

Instructions for the submission of proposals:

The proposals must be original and not previously published.
Articles must be a minimum of 6,000 and a maximum of 10,000 words in length.
Proposals may be submitted in English or Spanish.
And they can be uploaded to the journal’s platform (https://djhr.revistas.deusto.es/) or sent by email: revista.derechos.humanos@deusto.es.

Guest Editors: Felipe Gómez Isa (University of Deusto), Gorka Urrutia (University of Deusto), and Teri Murphy (Ohio State University).
