Show moreIn migration studies, the focus usually is on global South- global North movements. As South-South migration constitutes a significant part of global movement, an important part of empirical reality remains understudied. Several scholars have asserted that this negligence in scholarly research is due to a tendency of migration scholars to follow policy developments on migration in global North countries. This paper investigates this assumption by applying a systematic literature review, which focuses on empirical studies dealing with migration in a global South country: Morocco. A hub for multiple migration flows and balancing demands coming from both its African and European neighbours, this North African kingdom forms an interesting case study for investigating whether the perspective of global North policymakers dictates the research agendas of empirical migration scholars. We argue that although the empirical literature on migration to Morocco is rich, the themes and population groups that form the core of empirical scrutiny largely follow questions of political relevance in global North countries.This working paper is part of the socio-legal research project Living on the Other Side: A Multidisciplinary Analysis of Migration and Family Law in Morocco.

Show moreThis article is about transitional justice in Libya. It shows that despite the novelty of this concept in Libya- some authors argued that term is new in Libya, but the concept is not1- the country has witnessed great momentum in enacting transitional justice legislation. However, this momentum was not accompanied by a momentum in implementation, in addition to, and perhaps because of, shortcomings associated with this legislation. In later periods, the feasibility and application of transitional justice, in concept and legislation, was questioned, and calls appeared to exclude it, in whole or in part, permanently or temporarily, in order to achieve national reconciliation. The political context since 2011 has had a significant impact on the emergence and development of these calls. It also had an impact on the responses provided. The article argues that the relationship of transitional justice with national reconciliation is not mutually exclusive, meaning that it is not necessary if one is accepted that the other is denied, but rather the opposite; That is, to achieve sustainable national reconciliation, transitional justice is required. The article also argues that, despite the enormity of the challenges, there are still opportunities to achieve transitional justice.Arabic version: https://hdl.handle.net/1887/3563576 Show less
