Justice Info is the only international media whose coverage—free of charge and in five languages—is dedicated to transitional and international justice. It covers initiatives in countries facing the most serious types of violence (war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide) as well as the national and international courts that rule on such cases.
Through a network of around thirty correspondents and expert productions throughout the world, each year Justice Info publishes more than 400 articles that analyse trials, truth commissions, reparations and other legal processes. Its role is to make these processes more understandable and accessible, to encourage dialogue between those involved in them, and to provide a critical and independent analysis of their impact.

Context
In 2024, international and transitional justice took place against a backdrop of contrasts. While the conflicts in Ukraine and Palestine put the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the International Court of Justice (ICJ) at the centre of geopolitical events, transitional justice continued to advance and to extend its reach to new arenas. It continues to innovate in an attempt to respond to major contemporary issues such as environmental crime, corporate responsibility, gender-based violence and indigenous rights.
International justice at a crossroads
In 2025, Justice Info celebrates 10 years of covering the progress of transitional and international justice. Coming at a pivotal moment for international justice, this anniversary creates an opportunity to further promote the work and experience of Justice Info.
A key moment will be the organization of a panel at the International Journalism Festival in Perugia. Other events will take place throughout the year. The launch of a new version of the website, with updated design and improved user experience, is planned for the first half of 2025.
This anniversary comes at a pivotal moment for international justice. As conflicts reignite
questions of impunity, international courts face major political and operational challenges, and transitional justice continues to evolve in response to the demands of societies seeking truth and reparation, the role of an independent media outlet like Justice Info has never been more vital. Ukraine, Israel/Palestine, Syria, Sudan, and the DRC will be among the key hotspots to watch in 2025.
Transitional and international justice are, first and foremost, political: they must be open to the public in order to ensure their transparency. Justice Info plays a key role in this transparency by analysing these processes from a critical and independent point of view, thereby contributing to informed democratic debate.
Priorities
- Adaptation of the visibility strategy on social media
Activities
- Producing around14 articles a month
- Training for correspondents and Ukrainian journalists
Justice Info’s readership grew by 6%, with 582,400 pages read in 2024. 64% of this audience found the site through search engines, proving the effectiveness of the SEO optimisation strategy launched in 2023. A pilot English-language WhatsApp channel was launched to diversify broadcast methods. Justice Info will respond to recent changes in social media algorithms — which increasingly disadvantage media outlets — by adapting its digital strategy. A stronger presence on selected platforms and the development of new, more modern and visual formats will be implemented to maximize the platform’s visibility on key channels.
Justice Info will continue to support its network of around thirty correspondents and will organize two new training sessions in Ukraine, benefiting approximately thirty journalists. These journalists will also receive guidance in producing articles on ten priority topics. Justice Info will maintain its commitment to audience consultation by deepening its understanding of readers’ expectations and concerns through an online survey and focus groups
