Victim-Centred Approaches to Transitional Justice The REDRESS Podcast

    • Non-profit

Transitional justice aims to address the legacy of vast human rights violations committed during conflict in order to ensure a better future. A lot has been spoken and written about the importance to place the needs of victims at the heart of transitional justice processes. However, often victims have little room to influence these processes. In this episode, we discuss what are the main obstacles that impede the meaningful participation of those most affected by conflicts in these processes and what can be done to improve this situation. Joining us to discuss this is an activist and survivor of the Uganda conflict, Sylvia Acan; Marlies Stappers from Impunity Watch, Luke Moffet from Queens’ Belfast University, and Amir Suliman, a Sudanese lawyer who works for the African Centre for Justice and Peace Studies on human rights issues in Sudan.
