Transitional Justice is a long-term process which seeks to address severe human rights abuses of the past through measures such as trials, commissions of inquiry, memorials, apologies, reforms of the legal or security sector, school textbook reforms, and reconciliation projects. These measures are usually applied by governments, but can also be initiated by civil society groups, such as victim groups, or the international community, for example the European Union or the UNHCR. Transitional justice measures are seen as catalysts for coming to terms with the past and establishing new, stable, and often democratic societies. As such, the measures are linked to the performance and efficacy of democratic institutions in the context of their accountability and responsiveness, transparency, and level of citizen participation. Thus, transitional justice is a process that aims to reconcile divided and conflict-torn societies by re-establishing (democratic) institutions. These measures can be catalysts to leverage institutional performance. Adapted from the source document.

Der Beitrag zur Entwicklung und Institutionalisierung der Menschenrechte in Europa beschreibt die Bemühungen der UN und ihrer Suborganisationen, durch Wissensvermittlung die Menschenrechte jedem Menschen zugänglich zu machen, ungeachtet des kulturellen und sozialen Hintergrunds. Der erste Schritt bestimmt zunächst die Bildungsaufgabe 'Menschenrechte' und skizziert das Ziel der Dekade der Menschenrechts-Bildung (1995-2004), proklamiert durch die UN-Generalversammlung 1994. Der zweite Schritt betrachtet die Themen und Zielgruppen der Dekade und analysiert die UN-Evaluation und weitere Aktivitäten seitens der UN und der UNESCO nach Beendigung der Dekade. Im dritten Schritt diskutieren die Autoren ihr eigenes Forschungsprojekt zum Verhältnis von Menschenrechten und Minderheiten und erklären, warum die Fokussierung auf Minderheiten interessante Informationen über Gesamtgesellschaften offenbart. In diesem Zusammenhang werden die Befunde (Bildung zu den Menschenrechten mit Minderheiten und ihre Hauptakteure) präsentiert und die Aktivitäten in einigen europäischen Ländern aufgezeigt, die im Zuge der UN-Dekade dem Unterrichtsgegenstand der Menschenrechte im Bildungssystem eine hohe Priorität beigemessen haben (wollen). (ICG). Die Untersuchung bezieht sich auf den Zeitraum 1995 bis 2005.
