Transitional justice mechanisms

Transitional justice mechanisms are processes used to address past human rights violations in countries recovering from conflict or authoritarian rule. They aim to acknowledge wrongdoings, provide accountability, and help societies heal. These mechanisms include truth commissions to uncover and document abuses, courts to prosecute offenders, reparations for victims, and reforms to prevent future violations. The goal is to foster justice, promote reconciliation, and support a peaceful transition to stable governance, ensuring that justice is served while fostering societal healing and preventing the recurrence of violence.
