Description
Welcome to the final episode of Transforming Transitional Justice, a podcast from the Global Initiative for Justice, Truth and Reconciliation, a flagship program of the International Coalition of Sites of Conscience, a global network of historic sites, museums and memory initiatives that support communities to confront painful pasts in order to establish more just and peaceful societies today.   Today we'll be diving into the many challenges still facing victims and survivors of atrocity as well as how the international community can help them better navigate these obstacles. In particular, we will explore the many ways that reparations can - when made available - provide concrete assistance to survivors. We’ll also examine how international entities can better support community-led transitional justice efforts.   We're grateful to all of our guests and contributors throughout this series who have reminded us that only by amplifying the voices of survivors can we inspire collective action and true change in countries struggling to confront human rights violations.   VISIT: www.gijtr.org to learn more   Guests on this episode include:   Deborah Ruiz Verduzco, the Executive Director of the Trust Fund for Victims at the International Criminal Court.   Muhammed Sandeng, an activist and son of the late Solo Sandeng who was tortured and killed in detention during Yahya Jammeh’s rule in The Gambia.
