Transitional justice

Transitional justice develops mechanisms for addressing mass human rights violations—through truth commissions, reparations, trials, or memorialization—in moments when societies are trying to move forward without simply erasing what happened. It grapples with the hard question of how communities heal when the full truth cannot be recovered, perpetrators walk free, and victims may never feel vindicated.
