Abstract:: This paper argues for the inclusion of Forensic Sector Reform (FSR) in any major Justice and Security Sector Reform (JSSR) program implemented in post conflict settings. It describes what is meant by FSR and why it is necessary to include it into JSSR programs. The paper analyses the procedural interconnectivity between justice institutions, emphasizing on the key role of the Forensic Sector within the criminal justice system. It discusses the consequences of ignoring this sector on any JSSR program. It provides a list of basic recommendations for FSR implementation in the field. Finally, it concludes that in order to effectively support the delivery of justice and truth in post-conflicts situations and play a basic role in consolidating stabilization and recovery, the mandate of FSR experts could strongly benefit from having corrective powers.

Abstract:: Global Environmental Change and Human Security is a volume edited by Richard A Matthew, Jon Barnett, Bryan McDonald, and Karen L. O’Brien, which compiles the most recent academic debates surrounding the linkages between global environmental change and human security. Adding the human security dimension to climate change, or as referred to throughout this volume, global environmental change, connects the issues and challenges faced at the individual, state, and global level as environmental change not only impacts people’s lives and options but also puts pressure on governments in many fragile states and post-conflict states. The link between access to natural resources and poverty requires that academics and practitioners begin to look at the way in which environmental challenges may play a role in future conflicts.
