About the Paper
Young people play a crucial role in driving social and political change across the globe. Historically they have spearheaded social movements in contexts as diverse as the South African anti-apartheid struggle, the US civil rights movement, Tiananmen Square protests in China, or the āArab Springā. Today, young women and men are leading global protests against police brutality, struggles for climate justice and pro-democracy protests.
Despite their role in mass movements, young people often appear to be treated as peripheral stakeholders within transitional justice processes. They can be marginalised or excluded from the political, peacebuilding or accountability processes aimed at addressing the causes and consequences of conflicts. Young people, who make enormous sacrifices in the course of these conflicts, are many times expected to return to disrupted educational institutions, seek employment, or simply wait, as others make the decisions or shape the narratives of past conflicts. While the impact and role of youth in peacebuilding has received increased recognition, scant comparable attention has been given to the implications or role of youth in transitional justice processes.
