Transitional Justice Club

About us:
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. UWO TJC is an advocacy based association. Dedicated to raising awareness about post-conflict resolution, rehabilitation and retributive justice
