Executive Summary the government was reluctant to implement these measures; however, it capitulated after the efforts of civil society. Kenya: In response to its long history of violence, Kenya implemented a number of measures which included the Independent Review Commission on general elections, the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission, and the Constitutional Commission which was tasked with working on constitutional reforms. It is important to note that, after the 2007 post-election violence, there was political will within the government to deal with past and present human rights violations, and this led to the development of the constitutional reforms and the inclusion of transitional justice mechanisms therein. Liberia: During Liberia’s civil war, sexual violence against women was used as an instrument of war. In dealing with this aspect of its violent past, a special focus was given to the needs of women and children as victims within the Truth and Reconciliation Committee’s practices. In addition, there was a categorization of the different types of victims, which helped to mainstream gender into the transitional justice process at all levels. Philippines: Grand corruption, asset theft, and international flows of stolen and laundered money have had an insidious and devastating impact on the Philippines since its independence. In the post-Marcos era, a Presidential Commission on Good Governance (PCGG) was set up to recover unlawfully acquired assets. However, the approach was unsuccessful as the PCGG lacked skill in asset-tracing and combating syndicated money laundering. The PCGG did not cover the reparation aspirations of the victims of human rights. The way forward for Zimbabwe Based on the presentations of the case studies and extensive group discussions, a set of major recommendations have been defined as a ‘Way Forward for Zimbabwe’ in transitional justice: 1. Establishment of a Transitional Justice National Working Group. 2. Establishing credible research and documentation archiving. 3. Advocate policy change and legislation. 4. National engagement. 5. Rehabilitation of survivors, with specific attention to women and children. 6. Reform and monitoring of institutions. The Forum believes that Zimbabweans must continue with this dialogue xviii International Conference on Transitional Justice, Zimbabwe
