Ethiopia, EU Reaffirm Commitment to Victim-Centered Transitional Justice
The Ethiopian government and the European Union have reaffirmed their commitment to advancing a victim-centered, inclusive, and trauma-informed transitional justice process, as more than 100 representatives from civil society organizations, victims’ associations, international agencies, and government institutions gathered for the national convening and closing ceremony of the DIMTS project in Addis Ababa.
Held on July 9–10 under the theme “Voice for Justice, Journey to Healing,” the event marked the conclusion of the European Union-funded DIMTS (Strengthening Civil Societies’ Capacities to Contribute to the Transitional Justice Process in Ethiopia) initiative.
The project has brought together nine victims’ associations and 14 civil society organizations from the Amhara, Oromia, Somali, and Tigray regions to strengthen public participation in Ethiopia’s transitional justice process.
