Founded and chaired by the renowned scholar – and pioneer of the field - Prof. Ruti Teitel of New York Law School, the Fried-Gal Colloquium explores transitional justice from international, comparative and regional perspectives. Almost thirty years into the development of the field there is already significant experience in the conceptualization of transitional justice as well as its purposes, relevant actors, processes, mechanisms etc. There is also significant institutionalization, such as the international developments existing at the level of multilateral (UN) and regional institutions, the convening of the ad hoc tribunals, the International Criminal Court, as well as comparative country experiences from Europe (post world war, post communism; post Balkans); Latin America (post Dirty War democratization justice) and the Middle East (Arab Spring).
