In this statement the International Commission of Jurists and Amnesty International reiterate the need to ensure that full account is taken of four cross-cutting issues. These are: independent and effective functioning of judicial mechanisms in times of crisis and transition; transparent and inclusive establishment of ‘transitional mechanisms’, consistent with international standards; economic, social and cultural rights as an integral part of transition efforts; and the need for transitional mechanisms to pay due regard to past abuses of human rights by business enterprises.
