Important Days

The International Day for the Right to the Truth concerning Gross Human Rights Violations and for the Dignity of Victims is annually observed on 24th March. On December 21, 2010, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed March 24 as the International Day for the Right to the Truth concerning Gross Human Rights Violations and for the Dignity of Victims. The date was chosen to commemorate the assassination of Archbishop Romero on March 24, 1980, after he denounced human rights violations in El Salvador. This International Day aims to raise awareness about the right to truth and justice for victims of human rights atrocities and honor those who have sacrificed their lives in this struggle.
