31: Justice Albie Sachs on Dealing with the Past

Libya Matters

How do you deal with the past in order to move forward? And what does this mean for countries that have experienced conflict and mass atrocities? To kick off Season 4, hosts Elham and Marwa attempt to answer these questions with the incredible Justice Albie Sachs. Albie Sachs has been involved in human rights activism for over seventy years and was appointed by Nelson Mandela to be Justice of the Constitutional Court of South Africa.

Our latest report, “Justice is the only way forward”: Perceptions of justice in Libya ten years on, explores the perceptions of justice of Libyans, their views on the transitional justice process and their priorities for accountability ten years on from the 2011 uprising.
