AU's Transitional Justice Policy Supports South Sudan
In February 2019, the African Union (AU) adopted the African Union Transitional Justice Policy (AUTJP) during a summit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. This policy framework, developed over nearly a decade, aims to foster security, democratic governance, and socio-economic transformation through transitional justice measures.
The AUTJP was endorsed by all AU member states and includes a comprehensive Implementation Roadmap for 2020–2024, focusing on technical assistance for member states in developing transitional justice mechanisms. The AU has provided support to various countries, including The Gambia, Ethiopia, Nigeria (North-East), Lesotho, Zimbabwe, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Central African Republic, Sierra Leone, and Liberia.
Specifically, for South Sudan, the AU has initiated targeted technical assistance, aligning with the AUTJP framework to aid in the country's transitional justice efforts.
