Abstract

This paper explores the relationship between health protection in Africa and two transitional justice mechanisms: international criminal proceedings and truth commissions. It questions the contribution of these transitional justice mechanisms to health protection in Africa and argues that the contribution is both retrospective and prospective. On the one hand, these mechanisms help to identify the past failures of health protection and, on the other hand, they tend to ensure health protection for the future. However, there are gaps in this contribution because the work done by the two mechanisms does not fully address the broader problems of health protection in Africa.
