The scale and nature of the crimes involved: serious human rights violations, war crimes, and crimes against humanity committed by collective actors, including the state or state agents, raise significant questions about the feasibility of facilitating the intimate listening processes that RJ typically allows.<\/p><p>This research is unique in that it characterizes the practices of the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (SJP) in Colombia, the world\u2019s first war crimes tribunal explicitly mandated to implement restorative justice principles. The findings will contribute to this debate by identifying both the possibilities and limitations of RJ in transitional justice, and, importantly, by examining the practices of the teams who orchestrate these listening situations; a group that is rarely studied, despite being central to the process.<\/p><p>A practice that has often gone unnoticed is now seeking recognition: the art of orchestrating listening situations within restorative transitional justice initiatives. This art involves creating spaces where members of conflict-affected communities, including victims, offenders, and community members, can engage in respectful dialogue in alignment with restorative justice principles such as voluntariness, empowerment, compassionate listening, skillful facilitation, and acknowledgment that injustice harms and justice should promote healing. It also entails structuring interactions that are safe enough to advance core goals of restorative transitional justice, including truth-seeking, healing, accountability, and reconciliation.<\/p><p>The mission of this research is to develop conceptual and practical models that can inform the work of transitional justice and peacebuilding practitioners. The study aims to have a broader impact across state-led, educational, and arts-based initiatives in Colombia, Canada, and beyond, contributing to both scholarly understanding and practical guidance for the field.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why is this research important ?
