About us
The Institute for Justice and Reconciliation (IJR) was launched in the year 2000, in the aftermath of South Africa´s Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The aim was to ensure that lessons learnt from South Africa´s transition from apartheid to democracy were taken into account as the nation moved ahead. Today, the Institute helps to build fair, democratic and inclusive societies in Africa through carefully selected engagements and interventions. With uncompromising excellence at the core of its work, IJR has earned a reputation for high-quality research, bold policy suggestions, and reconciliation work with impact on the ground. IJR employs a diverse and professional staff. Archbishop Desmond Tutu is the Institute's longstanding patron. The organisation has a well-established track record of sound corporate governance, and has enjoyed steady growth over the past decade.

Global Democracy and the United Nations: The Summit of the Future – What Next? Register at https://lnkd.in/dpi57_Qf to join the public dialogue hosted by the Institute for Justice Reconciliation & Democracy Without Borders on 27 November 2024, 17h00 to 18h30 at #IJR, 105 Hatfield St, Gardens, Cape Town. On 22-23 September 2024, the United Nations convened a Summit of the Future and adopted a Pact for the Future that was said to be a “once in a generation” opportunity to “forge a new global consensus” on what humanity’s “future should look like”. This event will provide a critical analysis from the vantage point of global democracy and a transformation of global governance. It will discuss democratic representation and participation at the UN, global democracy promotion as well as the (potential) role of South African foreign policy in these fields. Finally, it is an opportunity to present the 2nd edition of the book “A World Parliament: Governance and Democracy in the 21st Century” with co-author Andreas Bummel in attendance. This event is in-person only. Use the link https://lnkd.in/dpi57_Qf to register.
