UNDERSTANDING TRANSITIONAL JUSTICE<\/strong> | Episode 1<\/span> ><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In partnership with IFJD<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every week, on social networks, readers of Justice Info ask us this question: what is transitional justice? So, in June 2021, when the Institut francophone pour la justice et la d\u00e9mocratie (IFJD)<\/a> proposed a partnership on educational videos that it has produced but which, its managers think, deserve a wider public audience than academic circles, we had no hesitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IFJD\u2019s top transitional justice experts explain in a few minutes the history of these mechanisms and practices of justice in the face of mass violence. They detail some of its main principles, illustrating them with concrete examples of how they have been implemented. And they introduce us to its many fields of application, which are constantly evolving.<\/p>\n\n\n
