	Combating Serious Crimes in Postconflict Societies The Serious Crimes handbook is a reference tool for policymakers and practitioners who are designing strategies for tackling serious crimes in postconflict environments.
	Relations Between State and Non-State Justice Systems in Afghanistan A study of the non-state justice system in Afghanistan and its utility in administering post-conflict justice is currently in progress, based on the work of a three-member team of experts.
	Rule of Law in Afghanistan Since November 2001, the Rule of Law Program (ROL) has been directly engaged in developing frameworks for establishing rule of law in Afghanistan. In December 2001, ROL assembled a high-level group of experts on Afghan law and post-conflict administration of justice and produced a report titled Rebuilding Afghanistan: A Framework for Establishing Security and the Rule of Law. One provision of the December 2001 Bonn Peace Accords between Afghanistan's warring factions was based directly on these findings and recommendations.
	Security Sector Reform Working Group The Security Sector Reform (SSR) Working Group holds public meetings that focus on working with agency representatives and the U.S. military to formalize the U.S. government’s policy on SSR and to develop principles, guidelines and strategies for SSR activities.
	Study Group on Reform and Security in the Muslim World Over the last few years, mounting security challenges have raised concerns about how the United States can best promote political reform while safeguarding its security interests. Co-chaired by Larry Diamond and Francis Fukuyama, the Study Group is addressing this complex problem through a series of meetings that highlight the interplay of security and reform in the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia. Each meeting will result in a country-specific report, culminating in an overarching Study Group Report to be released in fall 2008.
	Sustainable Economies The Institute focuses on various dimensions of peacebuilding and conflict management, including the causal relationship between economic activity and the prospects for enduring peace.
	Transitional Justice The Rule of Law Program provides guiding resources as countries deal with the legacies of past abuses, war crimes in efforts to rebuild and reconcile in the wake of violence. The “Truth Commission Digital Collection,” has catalogued the contexts, apparatuses and findings of Truth Commissions from around the world, in order to aid future generations as they craft policies and strategies to cope with the malingering ghosts of their nation’s past. Transitional Justice: How Emerging Democracies Reckon with Former Regimes, a three-volume collection edited by Neil J. Kritz, brings together the collective experience of numerous countries and cultures over the past 50 years.
