Transitional Justice: What are the Favorable Options? The Case of Sudan

Abstract

The main purpose of Transitional Justice is to foster peace, stability, and justice in countries  that witnessed internal conflicts, or some sorts of human rights violations.  This article discusses the different issues pertaining to transitional justice. These include the  definition of Transitional Justice, the approach taken and guidelines set by the United Nations  (UN), the concept, Purposes and Impact of Transitional Justice, and, methods and mechanisms of  Transitional Justice.  We will dedicate the major part to the Transitional Justice in Sudan. Sudan has been marked  by conflicts and instability for decades. Since Omer Al Basheer was ousted from power in 2019,  the country has been progressing through a transition to democracy. This process also entails  tackling Sudan's past, because, without justice there will be little trust in, and support for any new  government. We will discuss the different concerns regarding the special situation and particular  needs of transitional justice in Sudan at this stage, the problems facing transitional justice in Sudan  and how they can be resolved.
