Can tribal conflict resolution mechanisms create a common ground for disputing parties in Libya under the regional patronage?
The civil war in Libya has rendered state institutions ineffective and mistrusted. Foreign intervention and large oil revenues erode group solidarity and reinforce centrifugal tendencies. Libyans have relied on tribal traditions to regulate conflict and establish justice for centuries. This paper argues for the use of reconciliation practices of restorative justice to increase stability.
