ICTJ Joins with 14 Prominent NGOs to Demand Accountability and a Non-Sectarian Political System in Lebanon

10/20/2020

In response to the recent tragic explosion in Beirut on August 4, 2020, ICTJ and 14 prominent nongovernmental organizations recently issued a joint statement, demanding immediate action to promote accountability and a new non-sectarian political system in Lebanon. The likely preventable explosion represents another appalling consequence of a dysfunctional sectarian political system that has been in place since the end of the country’s 15-yearlong civil war in 1990 and that has afforded impunity to perpetrators of human rights abuses for decades and entrenched a culture of cronyism and corruption in the country.

Can a Strong Message of Justice and Inclusion Lead to a Political Transition in Venezuela?

Cristián Correa
Senior Expert, Programs

10/8/2020

The political crisis in Venezuela has reached a breaking point. The upcoming parliamentary elections scheduled for December 6 threaten to deprive the opposition of its institutional foothold, on which the legitimacy of its demand to establish an interim government rests. Moreover, observers both inside and outside Venezuela have repeatedly warned that the conditions are unsuitable for fair and impartial elections. A political solution now depends on the government backpedaling from its recent refusal to postpone the elections and allowing the European Union to observe them. It also requires the opposition to take a clear stance beyond calling for the removal of the president.

EVENT : Transitional Justice and the Recovery of Stolen Assets: How Can People’s Dignity be Restored?

6/10/2020 - 6/10/2020

How can countries emerging from dictatorship, war, or political transitions hold corrupt ex- rulers accountable, recover their ill-gotten assets, and ensure victims achieve justice and obtain reparations. Contributions from the experts who attended a conference earlier this year allowed the ICTJ to produce a conference report. In this online launch event for the report, ICTJ hopes to further enhance exchanges and strengthen the capacity of the Tunisian authorities directly involved in pursuing accountability, recovering stolen assets and managing these assets for purposes of implementing reparations and achieving development in marginalized regions.
