The Role of National Reconciliation in Enhancing Social Justice in Libya

Abstract

This study aims to shed light on national reconciliation in its clearest sense: a process of national consensus that establishes a relationship between political and societal parties based on tolerance, justice, and the removal of the effects of past conflicts, in order to achieve social justice among all segments of society, ensuring a proper democratic transition through specific contexts and a set of paths. National reconciliation is an inevitable outcome for countries suffering from fundamental differences or internal conflicts and is one of the most important elements of any political settlement... The correct path to achieving comprehensive national reconciliation in Libya requires adopting appropriate mechanisms of social justice; therefore, it is important to study national reconciliation alongside social justice.
