Transitional justice (TJ) mechanisms have helped conflict and post-conflict societies to promote democracy, peace and reconciliation through reckoning with legacies of violence and human rights abuses. TJ mechanisms have been designed and implemented after the end of conflict or during ongoing conflict. 

The webinar ‘s first panel will explore TJ experiences in diverse global contexts, highlighting lessons learned from other societies in comparative and socio-psychological perspective in order to understand some prerequisites, factually and institutionally, for successful TJ processes. The second panel will build on those and critically examine the possibilities and limitations of applying TJ approaches in Israel/Palestine. Between the two panels, a scholar and an artist will engage in a dialogue on TJ and Art. The webinar will be open to the public.
