Law professor Fabrice Hourquebie explains this central right of victims and the restorative aspect of transitional justice.

Jean-Pierre Massias, president of IFJD and professor of law, tells how, beyond the doctrine, this field of action in the face of mass violence has been formed in a progressive and pragmatic way.
