ROUNDTABLE: Transitional Justice  

Legal and non-legal mechanisms to address human rights violations committed during internal armed conflict and by previous regimes, have become central tools for societies working towards post-conflict reconstruction and healing of social divisions and are also used as part of peace negotiations. They take many forms, including trials in domestic and international courts, and truth commissions. The transitional toolbox as well as the range of crimes addressed have expanded greatly over the years. Research on transitional justice processes has been a central part of LawTransform’s research throughout our history (and prehistory), with a broad theoretical and empirical scope. What are the most urgent challenges and research questions to embark on in this field over the next decade? This event is supported by Fritt Ord.
