TRANSITIONAL JUSTICE IN NICARAGUA 1990-2012 - A...

Astrid Bothmann examines historical  political and socioeconomic factors that explain the
absence of transitional justice in Nicaragua from 1990 to 2012. The author provides the first
systematic analysis of the reasons for the lack of transitional justice in Nicaragua after the
end of the Sandinista regime and the civil war (1990). Contrary to other Latin American states
of the third wave of democratization  which put the perpetrators of past crimes on trial 
established truth commissions  purged political and military officials  and made reparations to
the victims  Nicaragua's first post-war government opted for a policy of national
reconciliation that was based on amnesty and oblivion. Subsequent governments followed this
course so that the past has not been dealt with until today.
