JusticeInfo

JusticeInfo (aka: JusticeInfo.net) is a non-commercial, bilingual (English and French), European-based online news service and journal reporting on, and analyzing, "transitional justice" ("TJ") issues in selected countries (mostly developing nations in Africa and Asia) — focusing on "societies in transition" that have a modern history of difficult and controversial major justice issues (particularly regarding human rights, war crimes, genocide, and/or crimes against humanity).

JusticeInfo concentrates its attention to such transitional justice ("TJ") affairs as major crimes trials, truth commissions, remembrance, reconciliation initiatives, reparations programs, and universal jurisdiction.

The enterprise says it combines the "expertise of academics and journalists [working in] Transitional Justice (TJ)," to join "real time journalistic coverage," with "policy advice and academic analysis [about] TJ processes on a global scale." -- with the goal of informing, guiding and empowering actual TJ activity, around the world.
