  • Reparations and the Vital Pursuit of Justice
    Jul 18 2024
    Welcome to the final episode of Transforming Transitional Justice, a podcast from the Global Initiative for Justice, Truth and Reconciliation, a flagship program of the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience, a global network of historic sites, museums and memory initiatives that support communities to confront painful pasts in order to establish more just and peaceful societies today. Today we'll be diving into the many challenges still facing victims and survivors of atrocity as well as how the international community can help them better navigate these obstacles. In particular, we will explore the many ways that reparations can - when made available - provide concrete assistance to survivors. We’ll also examine how international entities can better support community-led transitional justice efforts. We're grateful to all of our guests and contributors throughout this series who have reminded us that only by amplifying the voices of survivors can we inspire collective action and true change in countries struggling to confront human rights violations. VISIT: www.gijtr.org to learn more Guests on this episode include: Deborah Ruiz Verduzco, the Executive Director of the Trust Fund for Victims at the International Criminal Court. Muhammed Sandeng, an activist and son of the late Solo Sandeng who was tortured and killed in detention during Yahya Jammeh’s rule in The Gambia.

  • Justice, Accountability and Violence Prevention
    Jul 2 2024
    Welcome to the fifth episode of Transforming Transitional Justice, a podcast from the Global Initiative for Justice, Truth and Reconciliation, a flagship program of the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience, a global network of historic sites, museums and memory initiatives that support communities to confront painful pasts in order to establish more just and peaceful societies today. What does justice look like for a survivor of human rights violations? How can civil society actors partner with victims to fight for and achieve accountability? Finally, what systems can be put in place to support violence prevention efforts, so that cycles of trauma do not keep repeating themselves? To help us understand these questions through GIJTR’s specific lens, we’re delighted to welcome today two activists from Guinea and The Gambia in West Africa, two countries that have undergone tremendous pain at the hands of dictators or military rulers, and – to varying degrees – emerged from these periods with some traditional, formal justice and accountability mechanisms, as well as ones that address survivors’ long-lasting needs in more informal ways. VISIT: www.gijtr.org to learn more Guests on this episode include: Asmaou Diallo, president of the association of victims and parents of the 28th of September Massacre in Guinea, or AVIPA. Sawyatou Bangura, the Senior Human Rights Project Officer of ANEKED, The African Network against Extrajudicial Killings and Enforced Disappearances, Gambia chapter.

  • Documentation's Key Role in Accountability, Healing, and Justice
    Jun 18 2024
    Welcome to the fourth episode of Transforming Transitional Justice, a podcast from the Global Initiative for Justice, Truth and Reconciliation, a flagship program of the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience, a global network of historic sites, museums and memory initiatives that support communities to confront painful pasts in order to establish more just and peaceful societies today. Documentation is crucial to protecting human rights and the pursuit of justice. When formal accounts of violations and atrocities are not recorded and preserved the experiences of victims and survivors are left unacknowledged and unaccounted for. Without a clear record of the crimes committed, perpetrators enjoy impunity, and the pain of survivors is needlessly exacerbated and societies are robbed of valuable lessons for creating more just and peaceful futures. Our expert guests guide us through different conflict and post-conflict situations around the world and how documentation (and especially the role of locally led initiatives) is absolutely vital to healing, reconciliation, and justice. VISIT: www.gijtr.org to learn more Guests on this episode include: Cynthia Ibale, a GIJTR partner and Senior Lawyer at Project Expedite Justice, with a focus on Sudan. Dario Colmenares Millán, a Program Director for GIJTR, providing direct support in Columbia, Myanmar, and Bangladesh.
