THE IMPORTANCE OF MORAL LEADERSHIP WITHIN TRANSITIONAL JUSTICE

Abstract

Conflicts, division and human rights violations have always been part of our lives in the world we
live in. Every generation experience challenging times, especially those generations who live in
transitional systems. The reality is sad, but not hopeless; we can all agree that peace and justice
are needed. This article shows that by electing moral leaders, people can make a powerful
interaction with each other and achieve many good things together. Through a theoretical approach
of transformational leadership, the authors present a new way of thinking in solving the systematic
problems and co-creating a better future. It is suggested that it would be very beneficial on the path
towards the democratization of the country and achieving peace for leaders and people to reflect
on the conditions of reconciliation. In this article, the authors emphasized that transitional justice
measures are more likely to succeed in a system that has a leader who owns strong democratic
inclinations. Also, fundamental reforms in critical sectors of governance such as the judiciary,
parliament, security, electoral process and other public services are required. International support
can also help in achieving the needed democratic goals.
