Peacebuilding and Restorative Justice: Lessons learned from the community in South Africa

In many conflict-affected societies, gross violations of human rights have occurred and /or are ongoing, and there are demands for accountability from domestic and international actors, from victims to society at large. It is for this reason that transitional justice processes have been developed. This webinar examines, through the South African case study, the interaction between the rule of law, security sector, and community interactions to move from being a fragile and conflict-affected society to one of peace.

With 11 years of experience in humanitarian aid and social development most of which was accumulated in South Africa, our invited speaker Marx Gertenbach works with youth vulnerable to gang violence, substance abuse, human trafficking, gender-based violence and extreme poverty. He specialises in person-centred community development, emphasising community strengths within humanitarian programmes.
