We work side by side with victims to obtain acknowledgment and redress for massive human rights violations, hold those responsible to account, reform and build democratic institutions, and prevent the recurrence of violence or repression.
Side by Side with Victims: What Is Transitional Justice?
Years after conflict, dictatorship, or historical injustice, victims throughout the world are still seeking redress and for their dignity to be affirmed. ICTJ has been standing alongside victims since 2001. We have worked in more than 50 different countries, helping to advance transitional justice, which addresses the causes and consequences of massive human rights violations, and to lay the foundation for peace, justice, and inclusion.
