ABOUT ORGANIZERS

Transitional Justice Working Group (TJWG) is a human rights documentation NGO established in Seoul in 2014 by human rights activists and researchers from five countries (South Korea, North Korea, the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada). The organization aims to develop the best practice to address mass human rights violations and to realize a victim-oriented approach and justice in societies that are making a transition from or have yet to make a transition from armed conflict or dictatorship. TJWG is a leading organization in documenting and mapping human rights violations in countries with limited physical access, such as North Korea.

남북한, 미국, 영국, 캐나다 등 5개국 출신 인권운동가와 연구자들이 2014년 서울에 설립한 인권조사기록 단체입니다. 아직 억압적 체제로부터 전환이 일어나지 않았거나 무력분쟁 또는 독재로부터 전환된 사회 모두에서 대규모 인권침해에 대응하는 더 나은 방법을 개발하고, 피해자를 위한 정의를 옹호하는 것을 목표로 활동하고 있습니다. 북한처럼 현장 접근이 제한된 곳의 인권침해를 조사기록하고 지도로 상황을 시각화하는 데에 선구적인 역할을 하고 있습니다.
