The state of transitional justice in Africa : inclusive and participatory governance, gender equality and socio-economic justice in Africa : 7th edition of the African Transitional Justice Forum, 12–14 September 2023, Rabat, Morocco

Abstract

Organised by the Department of Political Affairs and Peace and Security at the African Union Commission, in collaboration with the Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation and the National Human Rights Council of Morocco, the seventh edition of the African Transitional Justice Forum was convened in Rabat, Morocco, on 12-14 September 2023. The Forum's diverse thematic focus ranged from the implications of the African Continental Free Trade Area for marginalised groups to the role of the private sector in conflicts and the significance of mental health and psychosocial support in post-conflict recovery. As this report shows, the discussions were enriched by the participation of scholars, policymakers, practitioners, representatives of national human rights institutions and other stakeholders, all of whom brought their unique insights and experiences to the table.
