English term or phrase:
transitional law
English answer:
Does not transport the meaning
English term
transitional law
"A special aspect of YIHR's programme introduces young people to the truth about human rights violations directly through the testimony of victims. The "Justice Advocates Network" represents an important element in YIHR's youth education programme, advocating justice and rule of law in local communities, promoting mechanisms and strategies for facing the past, and educating young people the facts about the recent past and the important role of the ICTY and its activities in establishing those facts. The Human rights protection programme implemented by the Belgrade office includes monitoring ***transitional laws*** and creating the case law in the fields of free access to information of public interest, hate speech and discrimination."
I know that "transitional justice" refers to the justice that deals with human rights violations in the past, typically after a regime change.
However, I would like to know whether the term "transitional law" alone transports this meaning as well? I.e. would an english reader that is knowledgable in this field immediately understand that it does not refer to some law e.g. during a transition phase, but to a law that regulates how human rights violants in the past are dealt with?
Thank you very much for your help!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Does not transport the meaning
One example of the meaning of transitional justice:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transitional_justice
There are lots of other links which explain or talk about what transitional justice is.
However, there are no references on Google, online dictionaries and paper dictionaries where transitional law is interpreted, defined or itself conveying the meaning of the "law for transitional justice".
Transitional law is used as a law which is temporary or provisional, and it's use is referred to transitional government, National Assembly Election, commercial law, patent law, and transitional period.

Therefore, in my opinion, the phrase transitional law itself would not transport nor convey the meaning for the words "transitional justice". These two phrases use the same word "transitional", but both are used in totally different meanings.
