“…The region has made progress in some areas in recent years ( de Andrade, 2018;Rosenblatt & Bolivar, 2015), and the Resolution can support this work. In 2014, the Chief Justice of Trinidad and Tobago remarked that the OAS already 'contributed to a greater acceptance of and inclination to embrace alternatives to incarceration and wider forms of restorative justice' (OAS, 2014: 10).…”

The years 2018-2020 saw a number of new international legal instruments and guidelines relating to restorative justice. In 2018, a landmark Recommendation adopted by the Council of Europe and a Resolution by the Organization of American States encouraged its use in their regions. In 2019, the Milquet Report proposed amending a European Union Directive to promote restorative justice as a diversion from court, while in 2020, the European Union adopted a new Victims' Strategy, and the United Nations published a revised Handbook on Restorative Justice Programmes. This article identifies and analyses the principal developments in this new international framework. It demonstrates the growing consensus on the potential applicability of restorative justice for all types of offences, and the emerging recognition that restorative justice should aim to satisfy the needs of all participants. It also explores statements endorsing the use of restorative justice beyond the criminal procedure and advising criminal justice institutions to utilise restorative principles to inform cultural change. The paper concludes that implementing international policies domestically requires justice reform advocates to build strong, trusting relationships, and organise inclusive partnerships, with all those who hold a stake in the development of restorative justice.

“…According to Umbreit and Armour (), victim‐offender mediation is the most common, most researched, and most widespread form of formal restorative justice practice in juvenile and criminal justice systems around the world. Victim‐offender mediation has been integrated into juvenile and criminal justice systems around the world, on all continents, including North America (see, e.g., Latimer, Dowden, & Muise, ), South America (see, e.g., Rosenblatt & Fernandez, ), Western Europe (see, e.g., Jacobsson, Wahlin, & Andersson, ), Eastern Europe (see, e.g., Vos, Umbreit, & Hansen, ), Asia (see, e.g., Syukur & Bagshaw, ), Africa (see, e.g., Dissel, ), and Oceania (see, e.g., Larsen, ). There are over 300 victim‐offender mediation programs in the United States alone (Umbreit & Armour, ).…”

This paper provides an overview of 40 years of victimoffender mediation evaluation research. This research demonstrates that victims and offenders are more satisfied with the process and outcomes than with the courts, they are more likely to draft and complete restitution agreements, they derive psychosocial benefits, the process is less expensive, crime victims are more likely to receive apologies from offenders, and offenders are less likely to recidivate. These benefits are not necessarily uniformly distributed. This "first wave" research provides a platform for the second wave, currently underway. To contextualize these findings, current and future victim-offender mediation practices are outlined.

“…A justiça restaurativa surgiu, pois, para mudar o sistema de justiça criminal e, para isso, a forma como enxergamos o crime e respondemos a ele (FARIAS; ROSENBLATT, 2021;MENDES;ROSENBLATT, 2021). Foi esse o "estopim" para um cenário de interesse na justiça restaurativa ao redor do mundo (ROSENBLATT, 2015).…”

Recentemente, a Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU) publicou uma nova edição do seu “Manual sobre Programas de Justiça Restaurativa”. Uma grande novidade em relação à edição de 2006 foi a existência de um capítulo inteiramente dedicado ao uso da justiça restaurativa em crimes “graves”. A novidade desperta algumas curiosidades. Por exemplo, finalmente, trataria o novo Manual do encarceramento em massa, da relação que existe entre esse fenômeno e os crimes de droga, dos porquês de isso importar para a justiça restaurativa, da importância do potencial desencarcerador da justiça restaurativa? A resposta a essas indagações, argumentamos, é “não”, e o objetivo central do presente artigo é explicar esse “não”. Nesse sentido, começamos por resumir a razão do surgimento de um interesse global no modelo restaurativo. Depois, apresentamos uma síntese da história da justiça restaurativa na ONU. Discutimos, então, alguns obstáculos à introdução da lógica restaurativa no sistema brasileiro de justiça criminal. Finalmente, buscando provocar reflexões sobre a necessidade de se promover uma justiça restaurativa mais relevante ao Brasil, ensaiamos um diálogo entre ela e um dos crimes graves que mais encarceram no País, o tráfico de drogas. Conclu ímos pela necessidade de reconhecermos as lacunas existente no novo Manual, nominalmente, a ausência de discussões acerca do encarceramento em massa e do (não) lugar do crime de tráfico de drogas nas práticas restaurativas. Destacamos, então, a necessidade de documentos do alcance do novo Manual serem mais intencionalmente responsivos às crises do sistema de justiça próprias de países com uma população de maior vulnerabilidade como o nosso, crises essas ligadas a um contexto de violências institucionais que não podemos ignorar.
