So, in June 2021, when the <a href=\"https:\/\/prix-joinet.ifjd.org\/qui-est-ifjd\/\">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<p>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<div class=\"articleLink articleLink--editorRecommanded articleLink--textInImage articleLink--textTop\" style=\"\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"articleLinkSurTitle\">Recommended reading<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<a class=\"articleLinkImageLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.justiceinfo.net\/en\/84939-what-is-transitional-justice.html\"><div class=\"articleLinkImageContainer \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.justiceinfo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/maxresdefault-1-540x360.jpg\" class=\"articleLinkImage backgroundImageTag w-100 wp-post-image\" alt=\"Jean-Pierre Massias\" srcset=\"\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/div><\/a>\r\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.justiceinfo.net\/en\/84939-what-is-transitional-justice.html\" class=\"articleLinkTitle articleLinkTitle--default\">\r\n\t\t\tWhat is transitional justice?\r\n\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UNDERSTANDING TRANSITIONAL JUSTICE | Episode 2 &gt; Law professor Fabrice Hourquebie explains this central right of victims and the restorative aspect of transitional justice.
