Transitional Justice and Post-Conflict Reconstruction

The UWO Transitional Justice Club aims to be an outlet in which students can participate in the currently emerging discourse in transitional justice by engaging with leading researchers in the field. We are an academic club, affiliated with the Centre for Transitional Justice and Post-Conflict Reconciliation. We host a plethora of events that are all centered on educating and discussing the causes, effects, and aftermath of conflicts around the world. Transitional Justice is an emerging field of political science concerned with the rebuilding of a country after destruction (such as genocide) through judicial and non-judicial, alternative means of justice. These alternative means incorporate everything from changes in the criminal code to post-conflict development.
