Introduction:   A sort of paradigm has emerged during the last 30 years that provides a framework in which to understand transitional justice practices. This paradigm has not only been widely accepted within the academic milieu, but it has also been endorsed by a series of legal instruments and binding documents in the international order. The positive consequences of this consensus notwithstanding, it cannot be denied that the transitional processes that have taken place during the last ten years have appeared in a context which seems, both historically and institutionally, quite different from the one that characterized previous processes. These differences, which can be noted in the novel types of conflict, as well as in the different institutional conditions and settings, or the leading role that International Criminal law has acquired during the past years, raise a whole set of new challenges that have not been yet systematically addressed, nor have so far directly influenced the comprehension of transitional justice practices. It is to these specific challenges that we want to devote this Seminar: we expect that a good number of questions will arise and, hopefully, some pertinent answers, too.
