CCRJ is undertaking work on the consequences of pursuing international justice in ongoing conflict, and on the effects of international justice and other accountability mechanisms on political outcomes.
 
CCRJ members are part of a project funded by the Luce Foundation and directed by Professor Jack Snyder of Columbia University that looks at the political impact of international justice initiatives.

Leslie Vinjamuri is founding Co-Chair of the London Transitional Justice Network. LTJN is a new inter-university and interdisciplinary network of scholars, practitioners and policymakers from the wider London area (and beyond) who have research interests in the politics, policies and processes of transitional justice. Her research on transitional justice focuses in part on the organizational context of transitional justice and especially on the evolution of advocacy strategies in conflict situations. Stephen Heder has been actively engaged in justice initiatives in Cambodia and is pursuing research on international courts and tribunals, and on the Khmer Rouge. Phil Clark is a co-founder and convenor of Oxford Transitional Justice Research. His current research focuses on post-genocide governance and justice in Rwanda, particularly the work of the gacaca community courts and the International Criminal Court in Africa.
