Summary/Abstract: The European Union undertakes several transitional justice activities. Most specifically, three areas of activities can be identified: conducting peace-keeping missions, supporting the ICTY in providing justice and funding transitional justice activities. Despite these activities, the EU lacks a comprehensive transitional justice policy, which has detrimental effects on the outcome of these activities. Four recommendations are presented that may reverse these effects.
