International Center for Transitional Justice (ICJT)

The ICTJ works for the acknowledgement of human rights violations and the restoration of dignity, which lays the foundations for peace in the long term and helps prevent the recurrence of renewed cycles of conflict, abuse and marginalisation. Luxembourg’s Development Cooperation is also supporting the ICTJ to provide its comparative experience and knowledge to discussions on transitional justice in Ukraine. Drawing on lessons learned from various transitional justice contexts, the ICTJ advocates for victim-centred justice measures and a broader understanding of accountability, going beyond criminal justice.

Since the ICTJ concluded its research on psychosocial support in mental health in autumn 2023, Luxembourg is supporting the organisation in further research work. The ICTJ has proposed a comparative research study of the positive and negative impact of social media on transitional justice in Colombia, Gambia, Myanmar, the Philippines and Syria. The aim is to examine the opportunities offered by social media, in different contexts, to build shared narratives, to combat disinformation and to pursue justice and social cohesion.
