The Forum for Transitional Justice is a Magazine dealing with the challenges, problems and aspects relevant to transitional justice in the post-conflict societies of the Western Balkans. We will be publishing pieces on national war crimes trials and trials before the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, as well as articles on truth-seeking and truth-telling mechanisms and initiatives, reparations and institutional reforms in the successor states of the former Yugoslavia, but also on the experiences of other societies in overcoming the burden of past crimes.
We will stimulate a debate about the challenges and problems concerning transitional justice, including historical memory, denial of crimes, accountability and reconciliation. The Magazine will publish theoretical pieces and overviews of the literature referring to these issues. The articles will be published in Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian (BCS), but the articles written by authors from the region will also be published in English. In addition to the authored texts, which would be specially written to be published in this Magazine, we will also publish translations of relevant articles from other languages into BCS languages.
The aim of the Humanitarian Law Center is to further stimulate the already triggered regional debate on various aspects of transitional justice with the publication of this Magazine, and to open new questions relevant to the creation of the culture of responsibility, the formation of historical memory and respect for victims.

The Decision of the ICTY Appeals Chamber, rendered on July 19th, 2011, affirming the conviction of the journalist Florence Hartmann for disclosing the contents of two confidential Decisions rendered by the Court, represents a negation of two transitional justice imperatives: to know the facts about the recent past and to prevent the recurrence of war crimes.
On July 20, 2011, the Humanitarian Law Center (HLC) received a decision rendered by the First Basic Court in Belgrade rejecting the complaint filed against the Republic of Serbia by the HLC in December 2007 on behalf of Ahmet Kamenica and Selim Nuhanović, former prisoners at Šljivovica and Mitrovo Polje detention camps for the responsibility of the state for the torture they had been exposed to while being held prisoners in those camps.
The Humanitarian Law Center (HLC), on behalf of the Coalition for International Criminal Court (CICC) on the occasion of marking July 17th, International Criminal Justice Day, and forthcoming December election of the prosecutor and six judges of the International Criminal Court (ICC), calls for the Government of the Republic of Serbia to propose and support, during the election process, the most qualified candidates for the positions of the prosecutor and judges of ICC. Serbia, as one of the founders of ICC, should take active part in the election process and it should make effort to make this process transparent and just.
The Initiative for RECOM is the first regional post-war initiative by which civil society in the region of the former Yugoslavia demands that an inter-governmental and independent body for establishing and publicly disclosing facts about all victims, war crimes, and other serious human rights violations related to war be established.
