International Day for the Right to the Truth
Every year, on March 24, the world observes the International Day for the Right to the Truth concerning Gross Human Rights Violations and for the Dignity of Victims. This annual commemoration honors the memory of victims of severe human rights violations and underscores the significance of the right to truth and justice.
The concept of the right to truth holds particular importance in cases of egregious human rights violations. Relatives of victims are entitled to ascertain the fate of their loved ones who endured summary executions, enforced disappearances, abductions, torture, and other atrocities. This right entails obtaining comprehensive and accurate information about the events, the specific circumstances surrounding them, and the individuals responsible. It also encompasses understanding the motivations and contexts behind the violations.
