The Truth of Those Responsible

Maria Camila Moreno Múnera
Head of Office, Colombia

4/21/2021

A significant portion of Colombian society has been indifferent to the pain of those who lived through the war in the flesh. Some have even denied the existence of an internal armed conflict. This is why it is necessary for us to recount our early and recent history. A new, more comprehensive and nuanced narrative must emerge from the testimonies of victims, responsible parties, and even spectators of this unending war.

Reem El Gantri
Head of Program, Libya

4/20/2021

With a special court that has yet to open a trial and a truth commission that is not up and running, international attention on victims in the Central African Republic is waning.

Mohamed Suma
Head of Office, Côte d’Ivoire

4/2/2021

On March 31, 2021, the Appeals Chamber of the International Criminal Court upheld the Trial Chamber I’s acquittal of former Ivorian President Laurent Gbagbo and Charles Blé Goudé of all charges relating to crimes against humanity they allegedly committed during Côte d’Ivoire’s 2010-2011 post-election crisis. While the acquittal may be frustrating to many pursuing justice and accountability in Côte d’Ivoire, a silver lining is that it could mean tangible benefits for victims.
