Ending impunity and seeking reconciliation in the Central African Republic: Role of Transitional Justice
The Central African Republic (CAR) has been suffering from long-lasting conflicts and is now required to establish the rule of law through Transitional Justice. Transitional justice is for the recovery of countries devastated by conflict. The United Nations describes Transitional Justice as ‘the full range of processes and mechanisms associated with a society’s attempt to come to terms with a legacy of large-scale past abuses.’ (United Nations General Assembly Human Rights Council, 2014) and it includes judicial and non-judicial mechanisms, such as the prosecution of perpetrators through national, international or a hybrid justice system, and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Then, what kind of efforts have been made to establish transitional justice in the CAR? Which system works well in the context of CAR’s complex conflicts?

Historic Racism in America – George Floyd’s Remarkable Global Justice Solidarity
In the wake of ongoing protests in the United States in demand for justice in the killing of a 46-year-old black man, George Floyd, at the hands of a white police officer, a social justice activist has insisted that the protests are legitimate. Jerry Locula highlights the historical racism and mistreatment of black people in America for the last four hundred years. It looks at how policing was associated with the transatlantic slave trade in the deep South; particularly, how white men were empowered to serve as vigilantes in responding to salves who escaped or attempted to escape. The article reveals that four centuries on, the culture has existed in law enforcement and the oppression has continued against black people; and that George Floyd’s case is the straw that broke the camel’s back. In his view, Jerry Locula maintains that the time has come for change in America, because enough is enough.
