This workshop aims to explore intersections between constitutions and transitional justice in societies in transition through the lens of preventing possible discrimination in post-conflict constitutions. Constitutions can play a key role in building peace and reconciliation in societies that have experienced violent conflict or authoritarian regimes. Understanding how constitutional changes can contribute to the consolidation of peace is essential to prevent future human rights violations and avoid relapsing into a situation of armed conflict or social tensions.
