The workshop proposes a space for critical reflection on the challenges faced by contemporary deliberative democracies in building peace within contexts marked by corrosive polarization, armed conflict, post-conflict transitions, social inequalities and structural problems. Within this framework, it highlights the need for a transitional justice approach that not only guarantees truth, justice and reparation, but also prioritizes dialogue, recognition, and the protection of the rights of ethnic and racialized groups, ensuring their active participation as a foundation of cultural and ethno-racial diversity.

This workshop seeks to explore alternatives for retracing and rethinking the way constitutional democracies and peace processes have been conceived, promoting—through a dialogic and balanced perspective—the interaction between transitional justice and collective ethno-racial rights as an opportunity to shape alternative constitutional spaces that are more inclusive and responsive to pluralism.
