Abstract

Transitional justice mechanisms (TJM) in Sierra Leone have been crucial for healing societal wounds following its civil war. Peacebuilding efforts aim to foster stability and reconciliation post-conflict, with TJM serving as an essential component. Not applicable (Key insights section will provide empirical results). This theoretical framework underscores the effectiveness of transitional justice mechanisms in Sierra Leone but highlights challenges related to public engagement and sustainability. Future research should focus on enhancing public participation and ensuring long-term impact of TJM initiatives.
