Imagining Peaceful Futures: Pioneering Research in Transitional Justice and Inclusive Societies
Injustice and abuse still run rampant in many countries; people continue to live with the legacy of violence.
Our research seeks to imagine new futures and transitions to peace by engaging communities, to help learn from violent experiences and to promote a peaceful and inclusive society.
The Transitional Justice Institute (TJI) is a world-leading law-led multidisciplinary research centre at Ulster focusing on transitional justice - how societies deal with the transition from conflict or oppression - human rights, gender, international law, peace and conflict.
