One of the most prominent sticking points in Israeli–Palestinian negotiations is the right of return for Palestinian refugees. Yoav Kapshuk investigates how the concept of ‘transitional justice’, often used in post-conflict political bargaining, could be utilised in future peace talks to reach a settlement. In addition to analysing previous rounds of negotiations that sought to resolve the refugee issue, he also looks to the negotiations between the Colombian government and the FARC (which successfully concluded with a peace agreement in 2016) and asks what lessons can be learned from the transitional justice measures used in this process.
