Transitional Justice And Its Role In Addressing Human Rights Violations

Abstract

Transitional justice is one of the most important topics in the field of human rights, and therefore it receives much attention. It represents an important pillar in achieving security and stability in societies that have been exposed to a period of conflict, as it includes many guarantees that achieve peaceful coexistence in society and address the legacy of the era that a particular society went through ,which led to it being exposed to many violations related to human rights and achieving lasting peace in it.

Transitional justice is considered comprehensive justice, as it is based on several mechanisms to achieve it, including working to uncover and bring those responsible for violating human rights to justice, and working to overcome that society's past legacy and achieve societal reconciliation, all in order to achieve the lofty goal of creating a society where security, stability, and respect for human rights prevail. Transitional justice is not limited to holding human rights violators accountable and achieving reconciliation, but also focuses on the victims of these violations by approving compensation for them, redressing the harm they suffered.
