Changing dynamics of the TJ process

TJ commissions must embrace the universal human rights principle of “No One is Left Behind.”

The transitional justice (TJ) process was innovated as an alternative concept of victim-focused quasi and extrajudicial mechanism to put a country in conflict onto a political track for establishing peace by reconciling the warring factions responsible for large-scale human rights violations, through truth-seeking, negotiations and restorative justice devices. There is no single specific TJ model in the world. Each country in conflict has developed its own tool for resolving country-specific societal issues. However, the experiences and good practices of post-conflict countries have helped evolve some basic internationally acceptable principles, allowing the members of the world community to end conflicts and reestablish peace.
