Transitional Justice

The Transitional Justice Interest Group (TJ-IG) is a platform that seeks to stimulate research, study, enrich, and engage, from an environmental perspective, the ‘processes and mechanisms associated with a society’s attempt to come to terms with a legacy of large-scale past abuses, in order to ensure accountability, serve justice and achieve reconciliation’. It aims to bridge the disconnect between the reality of environmental degradation and damage in societies with a legacy of large-scale past abuses, and the processes and mechanisms associated with that society’s attempt at ensuring accountability, serving justice and achieving reconciliation.

This interest group assembles diverse professionals, is multidisciplinary and non-political in nature, and works in alignment with the Association’s purpose. Its operations encompass policy analysis, educational, and scientific goals as defined in the mission, purpose, and actions of the Association. It further seeks to facilitate exchanges of information, facilitate dialogues, create awareness, and promote capacity building on its work. Its intention is that the processes and mechanisms aforementioned and the respective practitioners will, progressively and through continuous evidence-based research, consider and incorporate environment as a thematic area within the larger transitional justice framework.

The Chair of the Transitional Justice Interest Group is Munini Mutuku (muhnyny@gmail.com) and the Co-chair is Loeva Georges (loeva95@hotmail.fr).
