“I learned that transitional justice is reform, change and progress.”
This is what university students in Beirut had to say after participating in a two-day workshop held by the International Center for Transitional Justice (ICTJ), as part of its ongoing support to the Committee of the Families of the Kidnapped and Disappeared in Lebanon. The workshop sought to help these young volunteers better understand the country’s legacy of human rights violations, its transitional justice processes and their significance, and the role they can play to advance truth and justice.
