Reconciliation and Justice

The study "Reconciliation and Justice" analyzes justice policies implemented in post-violence contexts ((armed conflicts or authoritarian and repressive regimes) commonly referred to as "transitional justice".

Through the example of different countries such as Colombia, Lebanon, Argentina or the Democratic Republic of Congo, the working group tries to provide an overview of the means used by states to reconcile and deliver justice, thus allowing recommendations to be made to ensure that "justice and reconciliation" policies lead to a real process of exiting violence.

These different concrete cases reflect the rise of this transitional justice, which recognizes that unforgivable crimes have been committed and that justice could provide solutions to create a reconciled society.
