Vision for Protecting Victims of Human Rights Violations

The Institution’s vision is grounded in accountability, the fight against impunity, the right of victims to truth, redress, rehabilitation, and guarantees of non-repetition. This is reflected in its public advocacy and communications. The approach combines:

Prevention

Aligning national legislation with international standards and promoting human rights awareness.

Protection

Independent monitoring, documentation, and referral of violations to judicial and executive authorities or, where necessary, to regional and international mechanisms.

Empowerment

Providing legal, psychological, and social support to victims and ensuring their inclusion in transitional justice and national reconciliation processes.
