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. The right to the truth implies knowing the full and complete truth as to the violent events that transpired, their specific circumstances, the participants, the circumstances and the reasons for them.
