Transitional Justice Working Group is a human rights documentation NGO established in Seoul in 2014 by human rights activists and researchers from five countries (South Korea, North Korea, the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada). The organization aims to develop the best practice to address mass human rights violations and to realize a victim-oriented approach and justice in societies that are making a transition from or have yet to make a transition from armed conflict or dictatorship. TJWG is a leading organization in documenting and mapping human rights violations in countries with limited physical access, such as North Korea.
