UN Special Rapporteur on the promotion of truth, justice, reparation and guarantees of non-recurrence: ”I take this opportunity to remind Governments of their obligation to adopt measures to unveil the complete truth about the events surrounding gross human rights violations, their circumstances, their perpetrators, and their causes,” Salvioli said.
