This chapter examines the role of silence in transitional justice. Silence is more than the absence of speech since silence in human societies can serve numerous purposes in human interaction, social meanings, and political implications. Moreover, silence conveys difficult experiences and sensitive messages more effectively than speech, which also assists in rebuilding trust and restoring relations. The chapter also elaborates on the broad range of possibilities silence offers as a means of communication in war-torn communities. It cites that silence and its semantic and performative potential opens up critical enquiries into the disjunctures between the transitional justice paradigm and the lived experiences of transitions.
