This work seeks to explain why feminist theory has said transitional justice legal discourse has notrecognized the totality of harms women experience in the context of socio-political conflicts. To doso, it analyzes three factors responsible for international law and the Western construction of thefemale body as dualist and essentialist. Based on this analysis, it establishes that harms not usuallyrecognized by this legal discourse are considered “harms of secondary recognition,” since they donot form part of the typical legal figures that precede the experience itself.

This article examines the transformation of the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) and discusses the implications of such transformation on the promotion and protection of human rights in Kenya. The article is an exposition of the powers of the Commission and their importance to the realisation of the Bill of Rights under the 2010 Kenyan Constitution. This is done from a normative and institutional perspective with particular emphasis on the extent to which the UN Principles Relating to the Status of National Institutions for the promotion and protection of human rights (the Paris Principles, 1993) have been complied with. The article highlights the role of national human rights commissions in transformative and/or transitional justice in post-conflict Kenya. It also explores the possible complementary relationship(s) between the KNCHR and other Article 59 Commissions for the better enforcement of the bill of rights.
