Abstract
Past and present atrocities and crimes against humanity have often roused international condemnation and calls for something to be done. Two concepts have been introduced into the international landscape as a result: one to describe the violence, oppression or persecution undertaken or allowed under law by the state (international crime) and one to encompass the variety of responses to that violence, oppression or persecution (transitional justice).
