The Institute for Historical Justice and Reconciliation (IHJR) works with educational and public policy institutions to organize and sponsor historical discourse in pursuit of acknowledgement, and the resolution of historical disputes. Founded in 2004, the IHJR first operated as a project of the Salzburg Global Seminar. In October 2008, the IHJR was established as an independent institute in The Netherlands and is now a nonprofit foundation seated in The Hague. The IHJR is governed by an Executive Committee chaired by Judge Richard Goldstone of South Africa, and is advised on its program by an Advisory Board chaired by Judge Hisashi Owada, President of the International Court of Justice. The IHJR continues to work in partnership with the Salzburg Global Seminar.
The IHJR seeks projects that can promote positive, forward looking results and intends to inspire others to replicate the work and to build capacity in the region. The themes and modalities for dealing with issues are determined by local and regional partners while the IHJR plays a support and facilitating role.
Projects are currently located in the following regions:
- Armenia and Turkey
- Former Yugoslavia
- Kenya
- Middle East
Further initiatives under development are located in the following regions:
- East Asia
- India and Pakistan
- Indonesia
- Poland
The IHJR Project on the Middle East is funded with support from a number of foundations and by the European Commission's Partnership for Peace Programme
