Impunity Watch is an international non-profit organisation working with victims of violence to deliver redress for grave human rights violations, uproot systemic impunity and promote justice and peace.
Our new #report identifies 3 critical areas that need redesigning to realise this #justice vision:

#Participation: Tokenism → Collaboration
#Solidarity: Empathy → Strategy
#Funding: Top-down → trust-based

🌍 International justice is undergoing deep fracture, from shrinking civic space to eroding norms. On #HumanRightsDay, we propose that sustaining #justice depends on building an interdependent ecosystem which:

1️⃣Redistributes #power
2️⃣Centres #survivors & #HRDs
3️⃣Treats #solidarity as infrastructure

🗺️NEW: AI & TJ Global Mapping #Report

#AI is transforming how societies document violence, understand patterns of harm, and preserve memory.

But until now, the #TransitionalJustice field has lacked a clear picture of who is doing what, where, and with which tools.
