In today’s Bangladesh, the pursuit of justice and change spans across many areas. But how do we approach these efforts? Are we, in our pursuit of solutions, inadvertently making the path more complex by resorting to conflict? Are we encouraging mob justice instead of fostering reasoned dialogue? Barrister Sara Hossain addressed these pressing questions at the Youth Policy Summit, emphasizing the importance of rational thinking and peaceful approaches in seeking justice. She underscored that lasting change comes not through conflict but through thoughtful and inclusive strategies, steering the conversation toward meaningful and sustainable progress. #YouthPolicySummit #YouthforPolicy #IID #YFP

Truth vs. Justice: Embracing the Grey Areas in Transitional Justice I am currently working on a group presentation for the YORJA volunteer training on the Truth and Dignity Commission (IVD) in Tunisia. In the course of this preparation, something intriguing has stood out for me—the Truth vs. Justice debate. The conventional perspective often forces us to see issues in black and white: right or wrong, truth or justice. However, this dichotomy is especially complex in the context of transitional justice, where the goal extends beyond mere punishment to fostering societal healing and reconciliation. Amnesties, for instance, can be seen as a means of reconciliation but can also be perceived as "selling out of justice to transient political interests, to the detriment of democratic prospects." The Intriguing Truth vs. Justice Debate In transitional contexts, the debate on whether criminal proceedings are the only way to achieve justice or whether alternative paths such as amnesties can also lead to peace is profound. This debate, often referred to as peace vs. justice or truth vs. justice, highlights the challenges and complexities in balancing these objectives. Is there a grey area in our approach to transitional justice? Teitel (2000) suggests that in transitional periods, punishment should be corrective, extending beyond individual perpetrators to the broader society. This perspective invites us to move beyond binary thinking and recognize the shades of grey in addressing past wrongs. Embracing grey areas means acknowledging that achieving both truth and justice may require compromises and a broader societal focus. The Truth vs. Justice debate in transitional justice contexts challenges us to rethink our conventional views. Is it possible that by embracing the grey areas, we could be moving towards a more sophisticated and effective approach to justice that fosters healing and reconciliation? #my2cents #TransitionalJustice #YORJAPeaceAcorns #YORJAVolunteerTraining2024

Honored to have completed a transformative online training program with the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission! The training aimed to enhance the understanding and capabilities of youth in Ethiopia regarding human rights and transitional justice. With this knowledge, I’m now equipped to contribute meaningfully to Ethiopia's journey of justice and reconciliation. Key takeaways: * Gained insights into human rights values, principles, and responsibilities of individuals and organizations. * Learned practical skills for addressing human rights violations and supporting those affected. * Explored the vital role of youth participation in the transitional justice process, helping to promote truth, peace, and justice. * Strengthened my skills in dispute resolution and collaboration with other advocates in human rights and justice. Looking forward to applying these insights and working alongside others for a just and peaceful society! #HumanRights #TransitionalJustice #YouthEmpowerment #Ethiopia

Peace & Justice Network (پیس اینڈ جسٹس نیٹ ورک پاکستان) - a national civil society network working for strengthening human rights and justice delivery, really appreciate European Union in Pakistan for launching Huqooq-e-Pakistan II project. Strengthening the human rights protection framework is essential for safeguarding fundamental rights in Pakistan. Also a robust and comprehensive approach is required to ensure that legal, operational, and implementation mechanisms effectively address the intersection of business and human rights. By establishing clear laws, policies, and enforcement systems, Pakistan can create an environment where businesses respect human rights, mitigate harm, and contribute to sustainable development. A strong framework not only ensures accountability but also empowers communities, promotes equitable growth, and upholds the dignity of all individuals. Prioritizing this effort will enable Pakistan to align with international human rights standards and create a just and inclusive society. #HumanRightsday #StandUpForHumanRights #PJNPakistan #JusticeforAll #EqualRightsforAll Sindh Human Rights Commission, Ministry Of Human Rights, European Commission, European External Action Service

The Smart Move Community, in collaboration with the @NationalCrimeResearchCentre (NCRC), conducted a study to better understand the relationship between religion and crime in Kenya. This initiative represents a systems-thinking approach, addressing how interconnected societal, cultural, and institutional factors influence crime patterns. By examining these dynamics, the study aims to provide insights that inform systemic change in crime prevention and policy formulation. The project was made possible through financial support from the Government of Kenya and was guided by the strategic leadership of Hon. Justin B. N. Muturi and the technical expertise of the NCRC’s Research and Development Committee, chaired by Mr. Samuel Wakanyua. This publication contributes to research and education on systemic issues, emphasizing the need for holistic solutions. Special appreciation to Kenneth Bundi Mbaya and Dr. Mutuma Rutere!

We are honoured to attend the 4th edition of the AU-EU seminar on #TransitionalJustice organized by African Union, European External Action Service and International Center for Transitional Justice. Experts gather to discuss how transitional justice can have transformative impacts at individual, societal and institutional levels to effectively deal with the past and prevent the recurrence of human rights violations. Themes such as Mental Health & Psychosocial Support, education and institutional reforms are discussed through various panels. Such events are critical to gather insights and inform our work in the context of our partnership with the African Union for the implementation of the AU Transitional Justice Policy. #AUTJP #TransitionalJustice #AU #EU #AfricanUnion #MentalHealth #PsychosocialSupport #Education #InstitutionalReforms #HumanRights #JusticeReform #PolicyImplementation #Africa
