The ICTJ 2009 Cape Town Transitional Justice Program is an intensive 3-week course on transitional justice offered by the International Center for Transitional Justice (November 2- November 20, 2009). The curriculum will be supplemented with weekly sessions led by expert field practitioners, site visits to local NGOs, and case studies of transitional justice initiatives across Latin America, the Middle East, Asia and Africa. The course is taught by senior staff from the ICTJ as well as a number of renowned visiting lecturers.

Participants will be selected from among lawyers, journalists, teachers, human rights professionals, social workers, or other NGO practitioners in similar professions from mainly African, Asian & Latin American countries grappling with transitional justice issues. Participants must be senior-level professionals with a demonstrated commitment to ensuring that their society deals with the past in a just and responsible manner.

Selection for fellows is rigorous, and will be undertaken by a team of ICTJ experts and peer reviewers. Participants will be expected to contribute to relevant activities in his or her country/region after course completion.
