Human Rights, Truth Telling and Justice Symposium
Event Navigation
The symposium focused on truth telling and justice in the context of human rights, and included speakers:
Eduardo González Cueva, Director of the International Center for Transitional Justice’s (ICTJ) Truth and Memory Program. The program provides advice to countries on truth commissions, declassification of archives, memorialization activities, museums, and other instruments. He has given technical and strategic support to truth-seeking initiatives in places as diverse as East Timor, Morocco, Liberia, Canada, and the Western Balkans. Before joining ICTJ, he helped organize and carry out the Peruvian Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Previously, he worked as an advocate for the establishment of the International Criminal Court. The historical records of ICTJ are also part of the Human Rights Archive in the Rubenstein Library.
