Business, Human Rights, Technology, and Transitional Justice in Latin America

This groundbreaking work examines how emerging technologies intersect with business practices and human rights during transitional justice processes across Latin America. Smart presents a compelling theoretical framework for understanding how digital tools and corporate accountability mechanisms can either advance or undermine post-conflict reconciliation. Through rigorous case studies, the book demonstrates why technological considerations must become central to achieving meaningful truth, justice, and reparation in societies rebuilding after violence.

What distinguishes this analysis is its practical application of business and human rights principles to transitional justice contexts where technology companies increasingly operate. The case studies reveal both the transformative potential and ethical pitfalls when digital platforms, data collection, and corporate actors enter post-conflict environments. Legal scholars, human rights practitioners, and transitional justice professionals will find indispensable insights into ensuring technological developments support rather than sabotage non-repetition guarantees. Smart's work fundamentally reorients how we understand accountability in the digital age's complex moral landscape.
