Restorative practices in contexts of mass human rights violations
The research line entitled “Restorative Practices in Contexts of Mass Human Rights Violations” is devoted to the analysis of responses to collective violence and serious violations of fundamental rights, exploring the intersections and spaces of dialogue between restorative justice and transitional justice. This field of study includes research on theories and practices grounded in the acknowledgment of harm, the listening and recognition of victims, the accountability of perpetrators, as well as the reconstruction of the social fabric, also in relation to the traditional pillars of transitional justice, such as the rights to truth, justice, and reparations. In other words, it encompasses thematic research on concrete implementation mechanisms, including truth commissions, criminal accountability processes, reparation programs, and institutional reforms.
