You are cordially invited to join the WOLA, the Due Process of Law Foundation, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, and the Heinrich Böll Foundation for the following panel discussion to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the release of El Salvador’s historic Truth Commission report.
On March 15, 2018, it will have been 25 years since the release of a historic report compiled by El Salvador’s Truth Commission. The report detailed the many human rights crimes and abuses that took place during the country’s 12-year civil war. To commemorate the report’s release, join us for a panel discussion on the legacy of the Commission’s findings and recommendations, and their relevance for El Salvador’s current human right environment.
