Transitional Justice tools to address historically rooted antigypsyism in Europe
CHACHIPEN Strategic Visioning Exercise
The event brought together leading scholars and practitioners working on Roma, transitional justice tools, anti-racism and non-discrimination around the world. This hybrid event took place on 23 June 2022, as part of the CHACHIPEN project.
This event outlined the existing potential as well as the key areas for further deliberation on how exactly to approach European Roma transitional justice mechanisms. For instance, ideas have been shared on how to go about the complexity of the EU institutional system. The participants have stressed the need for consensus building within and among European Roma civil society, academia, other wider civil society networks human rights and other international bodies. The participants highlighted the role of research, knowledge co-creation and education, as to recognise and acknowledge the past. In this context, the participants have reached the consensus on the importance of testimonies of victims and survivors, that they are the ones to be at the core of any transitional justice initiative.
