The Intersections of Restorative and Transformative Justice

The Intersections of Restorative and Transitional Justice

with Camilo Eduardo Umaña Hernández - Deputy Minister of Criminal Policy and Restorative Justice for the Ministry of Justice and Law, Colombia [Website]

Camilo was a plenary keynote presenter at the European Forum for Restorative Justice's 12th International Conference in late May, 2024, in Tallinn, Estonia. His presentation made key links between restorative and transitional justice on the ground in Colombia, and how his work as a practitioner and government official alike has spurred much-awaited efforts to provide RJ as a viable systemic and community practice in his country.

He may very well be the first high-ranking government official in the world to have "Restorative Justice" within his official title.

Host Molly Rowan Leach sat down with Camilo in a park adjacent to the conference in beautiful Tallinn to discuss behind-the-scenes reflections of the panel, insights into the link between RJ and Transitional Justice at the micro- and macro-levels, and to share a little about his own experiences as a survivor of his father's murder, and the work he does to further RJ in Colombia.
