CONCLUSION

This chapter has traced the theoretical contours of the six key transi­tional justice themes with which the sources analysed in this book associate gacaca. Because many sources provide varied or confused inter­pretations of each term or conflate these terms with one another, this chapter has provided a clearer understanding of what each term entails and, where conflation is likely, how each objective differs from closely related terms.

As later chapters highlight, sources on gacaca interpret each of these themes in more detailed ways than they are discussed here. Interpreting my sources' views on and practice of gacaca, the later ana­lysis highlights how gacaca connects these six profound aims (and two of the three pragmatic objectives discussed later) in particular ways, cre­ating a galaxy of inter-related objectives, reflecting its holistic approach to post-conflict reconstruction. One overall focus in this book is how, in terms of different sources' interpretations of gacaca, but more import­antly the population's practice of gacaca, these themes manifest, and the problematic or successful practical outcomes that result from gacaca's simultaneous pursuit of different types of aims.
