Access to justice is a fundamental principle which enables citizens to access their rights in an effective way. It means that when people encounter life problems that have legal implications, they will be able to understand and assert their rights in a neutral process pursuant to the fair rule of law. Access to justice helps to preserve human dignity. It is a means of assuring good and effective government. And, it is helpful in efforts to grow civil society and to reduce and end poverty. It can determine whether basic human needs for food, shelter, family relationships, and safety will be met, and it can mean everything for a person in crisis.

🔵 The phrase “transitional justice” is, perhaps, one of the most frequently used terms that is largely incomprehensible to people outside of the justice sector. Transitional justice work encompasses a wide range of activities aimed at furthering society’s ability to come to terms with the history and impacts of large-scale conflict, repression, and human rights violations. Transitional justice aims to provide recognition to victims, survivors, and families; to rebuild the trust of individuals in state institutions; to reinforce respect for human rights; and to promote the rule of law, all as critical steps towards reconciliation and the prevention of new violations. Find out more about the five pillars of transitional justice and Synergy’s recent work in the area in our May blog post: https://lnkd.in/dpYZZTii
