International Day for the Right to the Truth Concerning Human Rights Violations and for the Dignity of Victims - 2020

                  Almost two weeks ago, precisely on 24th March, the world celebrated the day to remember the victims of human rights violations and their fight for truth, justice and dignity. So, this post is a tribute to all victims that suffered injustice and died without have it, to all human rights defenders who helps to bring justice and truth for anyone looking for them, and to all victims that are fighting now for truth, justice and dignity. We all should participate in this fight because as I said before, it is very important to fight against injustice. Without justice the violations could spread and reach you and we all would become slaves in the nightmare called dystopia that would become a new system increasingly difficult to combat. Therefore, help fight human rights violations and injustice, when many abuses have systematically been done for so long time is very important.  Do not think you are unreachabel and the evil will never reach you and your family. Even if the suffering of other do not annoy you, think in yourself and protect you helping to do justice with the violations happening now. The systematic violations, the impunity, the daily bullying in the mainstream media, the threats online and offline exist to do the victims give up to fight for justice and reparations. Besides, the violations, the systematic abuses, the daily humiliation and the impunity can have a dehumanizing effect in the population, trying us accept what can not be accepted, do not let this happen to you, the solidarity and the emphaty are the essence of the human being. This post is a summary of two articles.

               The International Day for the Right to the Truth Concerning Human Rights Violations honours the memory of victims of heinous and systematic abuses. The day coincides with the anniversary of the murder of Monsignor Oscar Romero, who was killed four decades ago for speaking out against injustice and impunity in El Salvador. On this day, we honour the bravery and determination of victims, civil society representatives and community leaders around the world who relentlessly strive for a better future, guided by the compass of human dignity. Their efforts to uncover the truth about human rights violations and the circumstances in which they were committed is an inspiration and a service to us all.  Truth opens the path to justice, reparation and healing. It helps us overcome prejudice and polarization. It also helps address the root causes of conflict and prevent its recurrence. As we recognize the courage of human rights defenders everywhere, let us commit to protect those who seek truth and justice, and provide victims with effective remedies and restore their dignity.
                The truth as a phenomenon has always been an inherent element of human existence. Every human being aspires to comprehend the truth, because its absence often leads to the feeling of uncertainty, injustice and despair. These feelings are strong especially in the event of death of the closest relatives, when their torments and deaths remain mysterious and elusive. In that case, an individual loses the faith in other people, and the very human existence is just a platitude. The horrible killings of tens of millions of people during the twentieh century, orchestrated by some countries, do not cease to appall to this day that part of humanity that is dedicated to the democratic values and the humanization of every aspect of private and public life. The High Commissioner for Human Rights conducted several studies that pointed out that the right to the truth concerning human rights violations is an inalienable right, which corresponds to the obligation of every state not only to protect this right, but also to promptly conduct an investigation and enable adequate legal mechanisms for satisfaction. Recognizing the importance of promoting the memory of victims of systematic human rights violations and the importance of the right to truth and justice. Acknowledging, at the same time, the significance of paying tribute to those who have devoted their lives to, and lost their lives in, the struggle to promote and protect human rights for all. Justice and truth belong to every individual and every victim. It is our universal duty to fight for them and to remember all the victims, because this is the only way to "save succeeding generations from the scourge of violations".
