Transitional Justice Institute, University of Ulster
The TJI is dedicated to examining how law and legal institutions assist (or not) the move from conflict to peace. A central assumption of the research agenda of the TJI is that the role of law in situations of transition is different from that in other times. In contrast to commonly held understandings of the law as underpinning order, stability and community, the role of law in transitional situations is a less understood role of assisting in the transition from a situation of conflict to one of ‘peace’ (perhaps better understood as non-violent conflict).

United States Institute of Peace
USIP works in professionalizing the field of international conflict management, educating and training others, applying innovative tools in the field, convening experts, supporting policymakers and providing public education around issues of war and peacebuilding.

The Womens Initiatives are based in The Hague, the Netherlands, the seat of the ICC, in order to advocate for inclusion of gender based crimes in the investigations and prosecutions of the ICC and to promote the rights of women victims/survivors of armed conflict throughout the justice process including through the Trust Fund for Victims.

Truth and Reconciliation Canada
The TRC of Canada has a mandate to learn the truth about what happened in the residential schools and to inform all Canadians about what happened in the schools. The Commission will document the truth of what happened by relying on records held by those who operated and funded the schools, testimony from officials of the institutions that operated the schools, and experiences reported by survivors, their families, communities and anyone personally affected by the residential school experience and its subsequent impacts.

Qikiqtani Truth Commission
In 2007, the Qikiqtani Inuit Association independently established and financed the Qikiqtani Truth Commission (QTC) to create a more accurate history of the decisions and events that affected Inuit living in the Baffin Region from 1950-1975, and to document their impact on Inuit life. This Inuit-sponsored and Inuit-led initiative is the first of its kind: the Commission has recorded Inuit oral histories of these years while simultaneously gathering and interpreting the written historical records produced during that transformational era.
