Founded in 2015 in Lausanne, Switzerland, by journalist and transitional justice expert Pierre Hazan, Justice Info was created to address the critical need for reliable information on how societies deal with past violence. The idea stemmed from the belief that understanding these processes is essential for shaping present values and future societal choices. Justice Info is a project of Fondation Hirondelle, a Swiss non-profit organization, and operates without shareholders, advertising, or paywalls. Its funding comes from institutional donors and private foundations, with support in 2026 from the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), the European Union, Fondation Valeria Rossi di Montelera, and another anonymous foundation. Justice Info is an independent news website that covers initiatives related to international and transitional justice in countries experiencing serious violence. They report on trials for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide, as well as truth commissions, reparations, and other mechanisms societies use to confront legacies of mass atrocities. They do not cover sports or entertainment news, focusing instead on political and legal developments related to justice and accountability. Their primary location is Switzerland, but their reporting spans across the globe, focusing on regions affected by conflict and mass violence. One interesting fact: Justice Info's reporting is often translated into multiple languages, including French, English, and Spanish, to reach a wider audience interested in understanding how different countries grapple with historical injustices.
