Abdorrahman Boroumand Center

In this video clip, officials at the International Center for Transitional Justice relying on their thirty years of experience, talk about the need to create legal and judicial mechanisms to investigate state violence during the transition from authoritarian regimes. They emphasize that returning rights to the victims and understanding mechanisms of state violence are necessary in order to prevent its recurrence. They also mention the need to create an institution that prevents the victims and the victims’ relatives from exacting revenge and being drawn into a cycle of violence.
