The online news platform Justice Info is the only international media outlet to focus its coverage—free of charge and in five languages—on justice initiatives, whether they relate to international or transitional justice. It covers contexts marked by the most serious forms of violence: war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. It also looks at transitional justice initiatives such as truth commissions, reparations, memory-building, reconciliation, universal jurisdiction, etc.
The role of Justice Info is to make these processes accessible and to democratize transitional justice so that it becomes understandable, enabling dialogue to emerge between its actors and its natural beneficiaries.
In a context marked by numerous conflicts and an increasing questioning of international law, it has also strengthened its coverage of these issues and their implementation. More than 200 publications are produced each year by around thirty correspondents and several experts worldwide, providing a unique source of reporting and debate on how human societies experience mass violence.

Context
In 2025, international and transitional justice operates in a global context marked by strong political tensions and a multiplication of armed conflicts. International judicial institutions occupy a central place in geopolitical debates, while being increasingly subject to criticism and political pressure.
At the same time, new issues are emerging: corporate accountability in conflict zones, environmental crimes, gender-based violence, as well as justice mechanisms related to ongoing conflicts in Ukraine, Syria, Gaza, and Sudan.
In this complex context, access to independent and rigorous information on these processes is essential. Often technical and not very visible, these mechanisms remain difficult for the general public to understand. Justice Info helps make them more accessible by providing independent, high-quality, and accessible coverage of these issues.
“For Justice to be done, it must be seen”
In 2025, Justice Info paid particular attention to the growing tensions surrounding international law, which is increasingly being challenged in geopolitical debates. Through analyses and interviews with experts, our media outlet examined the pressures weighing on international judicial institutions and the issues related to the application of law in current conflicts.
The year was marked by a special feature on the accountability of economic actors in international crimes, notably informed by coverage of the Lundin trial in Sweden and the Lafarge trial in France.
Justice Info also deepened its fieldwork to document the experiences of victims and reparation processes, notably in the DRC and Uganda, as well as in France regarding victims of sexual violence within the Church. It also followed several universal jurisdiction proceedings, including cases related to The Gambia and Syria.
The year was also marked by the development of visual formats, notably maps of justice situations related to the conflicts in Gaza and Syria.
Justice Info continued its training activities for specialized journalists, notably in Ukraine, and strengthened them in the Arab world, benefiting the ARIJ network.
2025 marked the 10th anniversary of our media outlet, celebrated with the organization of a panel at the International Journalism Festival in Perugia. The year was also marked by the launch of a new version of the website, adapted to new ways of accessing information.

Justice Info strengthens its coverage of issues related to international justice, transitional justice, and international humanitarian law, in a context marked by the multiplication of conflicts and their increasing contestation. In this environment, where the foundations of international law are being weakened, the media outlet aims to contribute to a better understanding of these issues and to shed light on the debates and challenges affecting Geneva as the international hub for these issues and multilateralism.
The launch of a new Syria project, led by Fondation Hirondelle in partnership with the International Center for Transitional Justice (ICTJ), will be a major focus of this period. In a politically sensitive context, Justice Info will develop editorial coverage of transitional justice processes, including official mechanisms and commissions, as well as local initiatives. At the same time, the media outlet will carry out training and support activities for journalists, in order to strengthen independent capacities to cover these issues.
Justice Info also continues its coverage of key contexts, notably in Ukraine and Palestine, while relaunching its coverage in Bangladesh and The Gambia. It will continue to analyze dynamics related to contemporary conflicts, such as situations of aggression and annexation, and will develop several special features, particularly on the effects of sanctions targeting international judicial institutions.
Justice Info will also develop new editorial formats, in particular a podcast in collaboration with the Institute for Integrated Transitions, focusing on the evolution of international norms and institutions in a context of geopolitical fragmentation. At the same time, the media outlet is also considering the development of explanatory and educational formats to make issues related to international law and its application more accessible.
