“There are no shortcuts when it comes to #VictimParticipation. Investing in VP leads to stability and #progress.

Victims should have the first word - work together and collaborate with them in #justice processes.”

– Thomas Unger, Co-ED @ImpunityWatch

#HRC60

[INOVAS @InovasOrg]

@Yasmenmashan @Caesarfamilies @SyrianCenter @UNGeneva @UN_HRC @kiquinta @ImpunityWatch @UN_SPExperts @IIMPSyria “Victim participation is vital for all pillars of #TransitionalJustice.

Victims are owed more robust support, and capacity building is vital to ensure they are participating as equals, not as symbolic figures.”

#throwback
on the UN International Day Against Torture: @InovasOrg issues this statement:

[INOVAS @InovasOrg]

Restoring trust in #Nepal requires a shift toward genuine #justice & #accountability.

✊We urge the world to support victim-led, transparent, and inclusive #truthseeking
✊We call on the Gov't to reorient #TJ processes towards meaningful #VictimParticipation

Full statement 👇

[INOVAS @InovasOrg]

Justice must be victim-led.

INOVAS stands in #solidarity with survivors of #Nepal’s civil war.

Politicized justice processes have failed them — it's time for truth-seeking centring their voices.

Our #VictimParticipation guidelines offer a way forward:🔗https://t.co/x3tG4kgcUB

[INOVAS @InovasOrg]

If #justice responses are disconnected from the lived realities and concerns of victims, they're much less likely to succeed.

🎥How can #VictimParticipation “stop violence, oppression, corruption, and impunity”?

Our members give us their thoughts- https://t.co/M5C0UxBzuU

[INOVAS @InovasOrg]

9️⃣Do no harm: Identify and address risks victims face

Always carry out thorough risk assessments and put in place measures, including anonymity and appropriate support, to protect victims’ physical and psychological well-being (#MHPSS).

8️⃣Communicate regularly and transparently in ways that will reach all victims

Design strategies to reach all victims. Communications should be two-way, so all victims can easily seek clarifications, further information & provide input.
