Abstract
When looking at human rights one must concentrate on state behavior and decisions toward their citizens and the international community. In this way, states, international governmental organizations and international non-governmental organizations look to civil, political, economic, cultural and social rights of individuals and humanity around the world. So in international humanitarian law, one looks for practice of state parties in international or non international wars and conflicts. Transitional justice, however, looks to the victims of both human rights and international humanitarian law. This article presents the methods, techniques and objectives of transition from an authoritarian state to a democratic state. Transitional justice techniques will be analyzed in this research include criminal courts, amnesty, truth and reconciliation commission, repairing, and judiciary reforms among others.
