2001 - The International Center for Transitional Justice is a newly-established human rights organization based in New York City. The ICTJ's primary aim is to promote accountability by helping countries develop effective responses to human rights abuse arising from repressive rule, mass atrocity or armed conflict.

The ICTJ works in transitional societies grappling with a legacy of abuse as well as in established democracies where historical injustices or systemic abuse remain unresolved. Depending on the context, its work will focus on strategies to document abuse or establish truth commissions, prosecute perpetrators, reform abusive institutions, provide reparation to victims of violence, or promote reconciliation.

The ICTJ assists governments, nongovernmental and international organizations, and other key actors by providing them with comparative information, legal and policy analysis, documentation, and strategic research. Working collaboratively with other organizations and experts, the ICTJ aims to build capacity and strengthen the field of transitional justice.

The president of the ICTJ is Alex Boraine, the former deputy chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa and currently an adjunct professor at the New York University School of Law. ¹⁾
