Resumen de Transitional Justice and the Sustainable Development Goals: Towards a Complementary Approach
Transitional justice is a comprehensive set of measures that seek to address gross human rights and/or international humanitarian law violations commonly perpetrated during armed conflict and/or authoritarian rule. Addressing violations means discovering the truth about what really occurred, holding perpetrators criminally or otherwise accountable for their actions, providing reparations to victims, and ensuring that violations do not occur again through the enactment of institutional and structural changes and the strengthening of the rule of law. The measures taken are judicial and non-judicial in nature and typically consist of four main elements: truth, justice, reparations, and guarantees of non-recurrence.
