International Center for Transitional Justice (ICTJ) Since its inception in 2001 ICTJ has played a pivotal role in a wide and diverse range of contexts helping societies develop and implement strategies to deal with legacies of massive human rights violations and pursue the search for sustainable peace. Expe
rtise and lessons learned garnered from experience of working in over 50 countries continues to be the core of ICTJ?s added value and the basis on which we help make sure that transitional processes more effectively address legacies of human rights violati
ons and root causes that give rise to conflict.Our programs are designed around one main objective: ?Societies implement transitional justice solutions to address legacies of massive human rights violations and lay the foundations for peace justice and inc
lusion.? Transitional justice solutions include both judicial and non-judicial measures. ICTJ designs these solutions to be part of ongoing processes that must be realistic in consideration of local context and capacity opportunities and constraints adequa
tely sequenced and responsive to the needs and demands of all rights-holders especially marginalized and vulnerable groups to ensure a necessary degree of societal ownership. As transitional justice processes are often the first opportunity for victims of 
humanrights violations to access justice and are by definition long-term multi-layered and subject to social andpolitical challenges ICTJ focuses on building capacity of victims to advance demands for justice supportingthose in power to be better able to r
espond to those demands and advocating for context-specific gendersensitiveand inclusive solutions at the national regional and international level.This proposal is based on the ICTJ Strategic Plan 2018-2022 that outlines an agenda focused on rethinking ho
w transitional justice contributes to advancing progress towards peaceful just and inclusive societies by focusing on knowledge development and innovation while working in an increased range of contexts including those in transition and others that still u
ndergoing conflict and massive human rights violations.The proposal also incorporates ongoing internal reflections and consultations with current and past donors as well as local regional and international stakeholders working to adapt to the major changes
 in the geopolitical landscape. Ohjelma on suunniteltu yhden päätavoitteen ympärille: ?Yhteiskunnat toteuttavat siirtymäkauden oikeuden ratkaisuja puuttua massiivisiin ihmisoikeusloukkauksiin ja luoda perusta rauhalle oikeudenmukaisuudelle ja inkluusiolle. Siirtymäkauden oikeusratka
isut sisältävät sekä oikeudellisia että muita toimenpiteitä. ICTJ suunnittelee nämä ratkaisut osaksi jo käynnissä olevia prosesseja jotka ottavat realistisisesti paikallisen tilanteen huomioon.  Koska siirtymäkauden oikeusprosessit ovat usein ih
misoikeusrikkomusten uhrien ensimmäinen mahdollisuus saavuttaa oikeutta ja ne ovat samalla pitkäaikaisia monikerroksisia monimutkaisia prosesseita ICTJ keskittyy uhrien valmiuksien kehittämiseen tukemalla  samalla vallanhaltijoita jotta he pystyvät par
emmin vastaamaan näihin vaatimuksiin ja kannattavat kontekstikohtaisia sukupuolisensitiivisiä ja kattavia ratkaisuja kansallisella alueellisella ja kansainvälisellä tasolla.
