Tranzicijska pravičnost od Trsta do Monoštra: med utopijo in resničnostjo

Abstract

The paper considers the attitude of the Slovenian society towards transitional justice. It notes that, in the years following the achievement of independence and the transition from a nondemocratic to a democratic system, the Slovenian society and state have not been able to fully adopt and implement all the necessary measures to redress the injustices suffered and punish the perpetrators. Progress has been made in this respect, especially regarding the issue of redressing injustices, and the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Slovenia has also played a positive role, especially in its first mandate. By contrast, there has been no breakthrough in retributive justice, as no one has been judicially held accountable for human rights violations under the undemocratic regime. The consequences are felt by the Slovenian society and people in their everyday lives, both in the public institutions and private sector.
