It was a pleasure having a conversation with Rutendo from the African Transitional Justice Research Network a while ago. We discussed about some challenges for human rights, justice, and transitional justice efforts today in the DRC and the Great Lakes region. Among other issues, we also discussed about what we should be focusing on in transitional justice processes in the DRC and on the African continent in general.
Watch the conversation here and/or here.
The ATJRN is an inter-disciplinary network of African scholars and senior-level practitioners who are working in the field of transitional justice in Africa.
This network promotes engaged practice and scholarship dedicated to devising solutions to confront impunity on the continent. Its role is to both identify the challenges that have faced transitional justice processes in Africa to date and to allow policy-relevant reflections based on the experience of those directly involved in continental-based initiatives.
