Transitional JusticeUNDP’s work on transitional justice helps societies address the legacy of human rights abuses, and lay a foundation for peace and development. As defined by the UN Secretary General in 2004, the concept of transitional justice “comprises the full range of 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.” This can include truth-seeking mechanisms, criminal trials, reparations programmes, and institutional reforms. At the request of partner countries and in collaboration with other UN organizations, UNDP provides services anchored in human rights. By coordinating transitional justice support efforts with national actors, UNDP facilitates dialogue, provides tools to assess needs, and develop capacities.
