Using records in transitional justice processes

The needs of transitional justice institutions for archives are likely to be at their peak at a time when archival institutions are being reformed and archival processes are under way. All transitional justice processes require documents. Some records may be useful for several transitional justice processes, but in most cases the records required for a vetting programme are different from those required for a reparations process and both are different from those required for prosecutions or truth-seeking.
