Contents: The International Center for Transitional Justice (ICTJ) assists countries pursuing accountability for past mass atrocities or human rights abuse. The Center works in societies emerging from repressive rule or armed conflict, as well as in established democracies where historical injustices or systemic abuse remain unresolved. The Center's programs cover capacity building, transitional justice approaches, outreach and analysis, and in-country assistance. These programs cover a wide geographical area, including Africa, the Americas, Asia and the Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East. Reports on each country are detailed and updated frequently. The site's "Research" section works to address the complex issues confronting policymakers and activists by identifying issues that merit more in-depth research and analysis. "Transitional Justice Approaches" covers topics such as reparations, prosecutions, truth-seeking, and vetting. The ICTJ website is viewable in English, French, and Arabic. Most documents are available in PDF.
