Justice Info is an independent news site that covers news on justice initiatives in countries facing serious violence, in French and English. It is a media of Fondation Hirondelle, based in Lausanne, Switzerland, financed by its readers and by public and private donors.
A term still unknown to the general public defines our field of editorial coverage: “Transitional justice”.
This means that Justice Info covers trials for war crimes, crimes against humanity or genocide, truth commissions, reparations programmes, the preservation and construction of memory, reconciliation initiatives, universal jurisdiction, etc.
Justice Info's perspective on this news is both rooted in the field, passionate and expert. It delves into the inventiveness of human societies confronted with mass violence. It is moving towards new horizons such as climate and environmental justice, or corporate responsibility. Justice Info is an open, accessible and innovative medium. It is intended to be the meeting point for human communities in search of justice, and that of the most lively debates.
Justice Info was born in Switzerland, in Lausanne, in the spring of 2015, under the impetus of Pierre Hazan, journalist and expert in transitional justice.
A 100% digital and independent media, without advertising, it was created and supported by Fondation Hirondelle, a Swiss non-profit organization founded in 1995 in the aftermath of the genocide in Rwanda, to provide reliable and useful information to populations confronted with serious crises.
From Banjul to Bogota, from The Hague to Tunis, our local correspondents and specialists strive to tell and illuminate, in clear language and an independent spirit, stories of justice, of women and men facing serious violence. and trying to overcome them.
A significant part of our audience is made up of the populations most affected by international crimes. Independence and professionalism are all the greater requirements as they must serve societies where information is often rare and oriented. We want to offer these readers in particular a forum for innovative, bold, even disturbing ideas and reflections.
The contents of Justice Info are also intended for experts and actors in transitional justice, lawyers, magistrates, researchers, academics, civil society organizations, humanitarians, journalists, who are all relays of information in their spheres of influence and action.
Our approach is to inform each of these audiences of what the other does not have access to, to invite them to take an interest in and feed on the realities and problems of the other, and why not lead them to meet on our social networks.
A Gambian reading our columns on the spectacular truth commission taking place in his country, which has enthralled the entire nation, may also be curious about the work of the Tunisian truth commission that preceded it. A researcher at the University of Leiden, in the Netherlands, can benefit from reading the report and the analyzes of our Colombian or Congolese correspondent.
