Recognising that human rights violations are being committed on a daily basis in Sudan, the Wayamo Foundation, the Africa Group for Justice and Accountability (AGJA) and the Aga Khan University Graduate School of Media and Communication hosted a public symposium on transitional justice and international criminal law on 19 May 2023, in Nairobi, Kenya.
Panel 1 – Transitional justice in a transitioning world:
The world is in transition. It always is and always has been, but recent geopolitical, international, and legal changes have had significant consequences on transitional justice and international criminal law processes. This panel covered some of the latest developments in these fields and identify lessons that may be applicable to ongoing and emerging transitional contexts. It also explored non-criminal law efforts to address international crimes and the importance of novel approaches to reparations, asset recovery, and truth commissions, to redressing past harms, engendering peace, and meting out justice and accountability.
