What is Transitional Justice?
"The full range of processes and mechanisms associated with a society's attempts to come to terms with a legacy of large-scale past abuses, in order to ensure accountability, serve justice and achieve reconciliation." - Report of the Secretary-General on the Rule of Law and Transitional Justice in Conflict and Post-Conflict Societies, UN Doc. S/2004/616 (3 August 2004).
Transitional Justice is a field of study and practice aimed at assisting societies in coping with the experiences and effects of past injustices while transitioning to sustainable conditions which allow peace and democracy, and simultaneously striving to prevent new wrongs from emerging in the process.
