Abstract
Transitional Justice (TJ) is a vital process that addresses the legacies of mass atrocities and human rights violations in societies transitioning from periods of conflict or authoritarian rule to peace and democracy. It is based on a multidimensional process, where formal court proceedings and innovative archival platforms work in tandem to provide avenues for justice, healing, and reconciliation. This paper demonstrates that judicial processes and extrajudicial processes in transitional contexts already have significant and tangible consequences for diverse groups of victims as a result of how complex victims are approached, as well as broader implications for the narratives on responsibility and victimhood that emerge from these processes.
