Need for a broad scope: security, humanitarian intervention, political governance and transition, socio-economic development, human rights and justice, specific needs of women and girls. Impact on how people in society interact with each other. Question of democracy and giving people a say: complexities, people need both autonomy and equality to demonstrate commitment to human rights, liberal democratic governments most likely to get us there.

Different kinds of tj: tj = post-conflict reconstruction, 3 paradigms that inform how justice can be done. Rule of law: closely linked to retributive justice, everyone is accountable, linked to human rights/democracy, impossibility of prosecuting the guilty immediately following conflict.
