African Transitional Justice Network

Part of the African Transitional Justice Hub, the African Transitional Justice Network is the only online platform that brings together researchers and practitioners to generate new ideas on African transitional justice, share best practices developed in the field, amplify the voices of marginalised individuals and communities, and facilitate outreach and cooperation among diverse stakeholders. The Network was developed via the Initiative for Transitional Justice in Africa, a joint project of the African Union and the European Union, implemented by a consortium consisting of the Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation, the International Center for Transitional Justice, and the Africa Transitional Justice Legacy Fund.
