Amnesties and Transitional Justice in North Macedonia – Reconciliation or Evasion?
In this episode, we dive into a topic with deep historical and political weight — the Law on Amnesty and its impact on transitional justice processes in North Macedonia. We explore how amnesty has been used in the past, what it aims to achieve, and whether it truly contributes to social reconciliation — or simply covers up injustices.
Is amnesty a step toward justice — or a detour away from it?
A conversation that challenges official narratives and sheds light on the role of the state, victims, and justice in a society striving to heal past wounds without forgetting them.
