Transitional justice refers to the set of measures implemented by societies to address past human rights violations and promote accountability after periods of conflict or authoritarian rule. It aims to provide justice for victims, establish the truth about past abuses, and foster reconciliation among communities. Common mechanisms include truth commissions, criminal trials, and reparations for victims. The goal of transitional justice is to create a foundation for lasting peace and democracy. By confronting the past, societies can acknowledge the suffering of victims and prevent future violations. This process often involves engaging various stakeholders, including government institutions, civil society, and international organizations.
