Summary

The Special Rapporteur on the promotion of truth, justice, reparation and guarantees of non-recurrence, Fabián Salvioli, presents his report on the role and responsibilities of non-State actors in transitional justice processes.

In the report, he examines the normative and conceptual framework underpinning the participation of non-State actors (notably non-State armed groups, but also corporations) in transitional justice processes aimed at redressing the serious human rights violations and abuses in which they were directly or indirectly involved. He further reviews good practices, lessons learned and emerging opportunities regarding their engagement, or lack thereof, in the implementation of measures in the fields of truth, justice, reparation, memorialization and guarantees of non-recurrence to address those violations. He concludes the report with recommendations.
