Session Introduction
The transitional justice mechanism, which began in South America in the 1980s, has striven to find truth slowly to restore victims' rights and punish perpetrators in all countries where there has been State violence. With tragic events such as impunity or the return of the military regime still taking place, this year's GDF will deal with the issue of transitional justice from the victim’s perspective, not from the political and social aspects.
