The Programme monitors the transitional justice processes undertaken by
the states which have ended an armed conflict and work towards
peacebulding and accountability for human rights violations perpetrated
in the past.
Transitional justice is a rather new approach to justice which is
introduced in a political transition, when society leaves an armed
conflict behind and moves to democracy. It is in this context that the
way to peace is designed in a delicaly and well balanced manner so that
institutional answers can be found for accountability to be assumed by
perpetrators of both human rights and international humanitarian law
violations; for victims to fulfill their right to know the truth, and
seek justice and reparation and for intittutional reforms to be adopted
which may help overcome the conflict.
