CHAPTER 1 – 

A.    A. While the immediate threats may seem at an end, new challenges have emerged for reconstruction in the aftermath of rebellion and resistance. MALINOWSKI, et al. 201I

TOM MALINOWSKI, SARAH HOLEWINSKI, TAMMY SCHULTZ | AUGUST 11, 2011; “Post-Conflict Potter”; Foreign Policy; http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2011/08/11/post_conflict_potter ; Tom Malinowski is Washington director of Human Rights Watch. Sarah Holewinski is executive director of the Campaign for Innocent Victims in Conflict. Tammy Schultz is director of national security and joint warfare at the U.S. Marine Corps War College.

At last, the long war  . . . . postwar stabilization still lies ahead.

 B. There is still much work to be done. MALINOWSKI, et al. 2011

Surviving  . . . . .Our recommendations are summarized below.

C.     C. Justice and Reconciliation can only be accomplished through a large plan of inquiry and the reformation of the judicial system.  Thousands of cases of abuse must be addressed in order for all to move forward.  MALINOWSKI, et al. 2011

Thousands of Death Eaters fought . . . .. who once used the torture curse?

D.    Only a complete process of reconciliation, as defined by Flournoy and Pan, can assist in moving forward.   MALINOWSKI, et al. 2011

In their aptly named essay, "Dealing with Demons," Michèle Flournoy and Michael Pan argue that the reconciliation pillar of post-conflict reconstruction requires more than just dealing with past abuses and grievances.  . . . . . . .The legal and political reforms we advocate depend on the growth of civil society.

E.    International cooperation and agreement will be key to prevent the reoccurrence of rights violations during the reconstruction process.

MALINOWSKI, et al. 2011

The great question remaining now  . . .. placed on the U.S. Congress.

Thus, we advocate that the United States federal government should provide democracy assistance for Libya by providing reconciliation and judiciary support for post-conflict reconstruction.
  

Chapter 2:  

A.    A.  History illustrates that the United States and the International community must play a role in post-revolutionary stabilization efforts , as history has illustrated efforts without international cooperation can lead to failed states. Hamre and Sullivan, 2002

John J. Hamre and Gordon R. Sullivan, “Toward Postconflict Reconstruction”, The Washington Quaterly/CSIS, Autum, 2002, http://www.twq.com/02autumn/hamre.pdf, pg. 88-89

The limited utility  . . . .and how they will do so.

B.     B . Post Conflict Reconstruction is the appropriate approach, and better than Nation Building.  Hamre and Sullivan 2002.

Using the term postconflict reconstruction  . . . .actors within the country itself must do so.

C.     C. An essential Pillar of Post-Conflict Reconstruction is Governance and Reconstruction, best assisted with Democracy Assistance. Hamre and Sullivan 2002.

Governance and participation addresses . . . advocacy groups, civic associations, and the media

D.   D. Models for Reconciliation exist and can provide precedent for the necessary healing.  MALINOWSKI, et al. 201

One way to address these challenges would be to establish a Truth and Reconciliation Commission .... and loved ones of the fallen,.

E.   Reconciliation must be addresses as a priority – there is a limited window for effective action post-conflict. Flournoy and Pan, 2002.

Flournoy and Pan, “Dealing with Demons: Justice and Reconciliation”, The Washington Quarterly, Autum, 2002,  http://www.twq.com/02autumn/flournoy.pdf

After conflict has ceased, societies often lack the mechanisms.... if not outright failure, in many interventions.

F.   International Assistance in Reconciliation efforts is key. .Flournoy and Pan, 2002.

Flournoy and Pan, “Dealing with Demons: Justice and Reconciliation”, The Washington Quarterly, Autum, 2002,  http://www.twq.com/02autumn/flournoy.pdf

Policymakers   should also   give    immediate attention   .... alternative models to meet indigenous needs.
