Reparative Justice IX: A Pathway to Peacebuilding and Restorative Justice in South Sudan and Regional Experiences This International Center for MultiGenerational Legacies of Trauma webinar is ninth in ICMGLT’s Reparative Justice series, this time focusing on South Sudan and related regional experiences. Survivors, justice practitioners, peacebuilders, academics, community leaders, and civil society representatives from South Sudan and across the region will explore reparative justice as a pathway to healing, reconciliation, and sustainable peace. Panelists will explore what reparative justice means in practice for South Sudanese survivors and communities and how it can address the long-term impacts of conflict-related sexual violence, displacement, and intercommunal violence. They shall examine what forms of reparations and support survivors need for healing and recovery, the role of traditional and community-based mechanisms in complementing formal justice processes and reconciliation efforts, the importance of survivor participation and leadership in designing reparative measures, identify practical recommendations and experiences from within the region and South Sudan.
