International Day for the Right to the Truth concerning Gross Human Rights Violations and for the Dignity of Victims

Known as ‘Right to the Truth Day’, addresses the violations of human rights and grave breaches of humanitarian law. This day raises awareness for the victims of executions, enforced disappearances, missing persons, abducted children and those subjected to torture.
