Description: 

The International Center for Transitional Justice is an international non-profit organization specializing in the field of transitional justice. It was founded in 2001 to address an important gap in human rights advocacy: helping societies to heal by accounting for and addressing past crimes. ICTJ works to help societies in transition address legacies of massive human rights violations and build civic trust in state institutions as protectors of human rights. In the aftermath of mass atrocity and repression, we assist institutions and civil society groups—the people who are driving and shaping change in their societies—in considering measures to provide truth, accountability, and redress for past abuses. We do this by providing technical expertise and knowledge of relevant comparative experiences in transitional justice from across the globe.
