Upcoming events
Transitional justice in contemporary conflict resolution
This Wilton Park dialogue, in partnership with the International Nuremberg Principles Academy and FCDO, will explore how practices under the four pillars of Transitional Justice – truth, accountability, reparations, and guarantees of non-recurrence – relate to modern conflict resolution.
As a growing range of mediation actors engage in the brokering of peace agreements, this dialogue will examine how the mechanisms, norms, approaches and funding models of Transitional Justice are changing; whether core assumptions from earlier cases remain fit for purpose; and where innovation is emerging. It will also explore how a new generation of mediation actors can become justice pioneers, promoting and developing forms of accountability that deliver lasting peace.
Ahead of this event, Senior Programme Director, Sam Godsland, writes on how Wilton Park’s history is intertwined with the journey of international justice, from the Nuremberg Tribunals, to the International Criminal Court, to the tribunal for the crime of aggression in Ukraine.

Continued reliance on hard currency borrowing in many low and middle-income countries leaves public finances vulnerable to exchange rate shocks, constrains investment in priority sectors, and strains debt sustainability.
