As patron of the Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation (CSVR), I am both proud and excited that this organization has taken the lead in initiating an international publication on transitional justice in partnership with the Human Rights Center at the University of California, Berkeley. By creating a space for dialogue and the sharing of knowledge and research, the International Journal of Transitional Justice will no doubt contribute to the growth of the field of transitional justice and to its ultimate goals of justice, peace and reconciliation in countries emerging from violent conflict and repressive regimes. The field of transitional justice has developed rapidly in the past 20 years – from one rooted firmly in the legal sphere and with a focus on prosecutions and retributive justice, to a field that today integrates the larger needs of postconflict societies – including reparations for victims, memorialization initiatives, the rebuilding of social relationships, cultural and educational endeavors and the reintegration of combatants. Each of these elements has a role to play in acknowledging the past, prioritizing the needs of victims and restoring the humanity of all who are party to a conflict
