La participation des femmes dans la justice transitionnelle

The Participation of Womens in Transitional Justice

The question of the protection of rights of women within the scope of the transitional justice has been, quite often, forgotten during the different procedures of the transitional periods. That is why the International Center for Transitional Justice is making increasing efforts in order to include this question in the different institutions and organs that deal with the subject of transitional justice. Different approaches have been made in order to include the question of sexual crimes in the procedures of the so-called Truth Commissions. In our opinion, the best one is the approach that proposes the influence of the question of sexual violations in all the activities of these Commissions, because it implies that it has became a principle that inspires all the functions of theses institutions. Taking into account that these proposals are relative recent, we have to conclude that we should keep on analysing the future developments of the functioning of the Truth Commissions in order to know if the different approaches, and the efforts of the International Centre are functioning succefully in the question of sexual violations during the armed conflicts and its appropriate reparation.
