Transitional Justice

Transitional justice refers to the processes and measures used by societies to address past human rights abuses and injustices, especially after periods of conflict or authoritarian rule. Its aim is to promote accountability, acknowledge victims' suffering, provide reparations, and foster reconciliation. This can involve truth commissions, trials, and public memorials, helping communities rebuild trust and move forward. By confronting and remedying historical wrongs, transitional justice seeks to ensure that such abuses do not happen again, ultimately supporting the establishment of a more just and peaceful society.
