The International Day for the Right to the Truth Concerning Gross Human Rights Violations and for the Dignity of Victims aims to honor the memory of victims who have suffered from gross and systemic human rights violations, while promoting the significance of the right to truth and justice. It also serves to pay tribute to individuals who have dedicated their lives to advocating for and protecting human rights for everyone, even if it meant sacrificing their own lives. In particular, the day recognizes the important contributions and values of Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero from El Salvador, who was assassinated on 24 March 1980. Archbishop Romero vehemently condemned human rights abuses against the most vulnerable populations and upheld the principles of preserving life, respecting human dignity, and opposing all forms of violence.
