About ITJI
Social integration is an unavoidable task of this generation for the reunification of the Korean peninsula. Understanding the importance of this and using the network that had been established over the years, the Database Center for North Korean Human Rights set up the first meeting of the Institute for Transitional Justice and Integration (ITJI) in May 2013. Over the next three years, 30 meetings and discussions were held, and with the mission of truly achieving social integration, ITJI was officially established in August 2015 as a nonprofit organization under the ROK Ministry of the Interior. As a civil society research organization it aims prepare for 'transitional justice' and lay the foundation for 'social integration' that is truly needed for a unified Korean society. Your constructive criticism, attention and participation will become a great strength for us to prepare the reconciliation of a unified Korea.

Objective of Establishment

The Institute for Transitional Justice and Integration aims to present a Korean model of social integration through research on transitional justice and social integration and through implementation of other projects. It also strives to establish a healthy, democratic Korean society and achieve genuine reconciliation in the unified Korean society.
