Sierra Leone has become something of a touchstone in broader debates surrounding transitional justice (TJ) since its civil war ended in 2002: a site of competing imperatives and Conflicting ideologies and agendas. The country has been the focus of a sustained international effort to implement an ideological-normative TJ agenda and a setting in which TJ practitioners tried to correct perceived past shortcomings.
