The Never-Ending Promise
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 July 2025
Chapter 8 is the concluding chapter. It aims to draw wider conclusions about prevention of conflict repetition in and after transitional justice as a field of research, policy, and practice. It summarises where non-recurrence stands theoretically and practically in relation to the book’s findings and stories of ‘Never Again’ as lived experience. Furthermore, it invites the reader to imagine the futures of prevention of conflict repetition and transitional justice, together as well as apart. The chapter ends by signalling how pertinent the ‘Never Again’ promise continues to be in the lives of millions of people around the world and invites further research on the topic that will enrich the discipline with new contexts and perspectives.
