DESCRIPTION:\n	(A/RES/65/196)\n\n\n\n	The right to the truth is often in
	voked in the context of gross violations of human rights and grave breache
	s of humanitarian law. The relatives of victims of summary executions\, en
	forced disappearance\, missing persons\, abducted children\, torture\, req
	uire to know what happened to them. The right to the truth implies knowing
	 the full and complete truth as to the events that transpired\, their spec
	ific circumstances\, and who participated in them\, including knowing the 
	circumstances in which the violations took place\, as well as the reasons 
	for them.\n\n\n\n	International Day\n\n	Each year\, on 24 March\, the Inte
	rnational Day for the Right to the Truth Concerning Gross Human Rights Vio
	lations and for the Dignity of Victims is observed.\n\n\n\n	This annual ob
	servance pays tribute to the memory of Monsignor Óscar Arnulfo Romero\, w
	ho was murdered on 24 March 1980. Monsignor Romero was actively engaged in
	 denouncing violations of the human rights of the most vulnerable individu
	als in El Salvador.\n\n\n\n	Purpose\n\n	The purpose of the Day is to:\n\n\
	n\n	Honour the memory of victims of gross and systematic human rights viol
	ations and promote the importance of the right to truth and justice\;\n\n	
	Pay tribute to those who have devoted their lives to\, and lost their live
	s in\, the struggle to promote and protect human rights for all\;\n\n	Reco
	gnize\, in particular\, the important work and values of Archbishop Oscar 
	Arnulfo Romero\, of El Salvador\, who was assasinated on 24 March 1980\, a
	fter denouncing violations of the human rights of the most vulnerable popu
	lations and defending the principles of protecting lives\, promoting human
	 dignity and opposition to all forms of violence.\n\n	Background\n\n	On 21
	 December 2010\, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 24 March a
	s the International Day for the Right to the Truth concerning Gross Human 
	Rights Violations and for the Dignity of Victims.\n\n\n\n	The date was cho
	sen because on 24 March 1980\, Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero of El Salva
	dor was assassinated\, after denouncing violations of human rights.\n\n\n\
	n	In a study conducted in 2006 the Office of the UN High Commissioner for 
	Human Rights concluded that the right to the truth about gross human right
	s violations and serious violations of human rights law is an inalienable 
	and autonomous right\, linked to the duty and obligation of the State to p
	rotect and guarantee human rights\, to conduct effective investigations an
	d to guarantee effective remedy and reparations.\n\n\n\n	The study affirms
	 that the right to the truth implies knowing the full and complete truth a
	s to the events that transpired\, their specific circumstances\, and who p
	articipated in them\, including knowing the circumstances in which the vio
	lations took place\, as well as the reasons for them.\n\n\n\n	In a 2009 re
	port on the Right to the Truth\, the Office of the UN High Commissioner fo
	r Human Rights identified best practices for the effective implementation 
	of this right\, in particular practices relating to archives and records c
	oncerning gross violations of human rights\, and programmes on the protect
	ion of witnesses and other persons involved in trials connected with such 
	violations.\n\n\n\n	The Commission on the Truth for El Salvador was establ
	ished in accordance with the Mexico Agreements of 27 April 1991 to investi
	gate serious acts of violence that had occurred since 1980 and whose impac
	t on society was deemed to require an urgent public knowledge of the truth
	.  In its report of 15 March 1993\, the Commission documented the facts o
	f the assassination of Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero by pro-government f
	orces\, the so-called \"death squads\".  He was shot dead by an assassin 
	as he celebrated mass on 24 March 1980.\n\n
