Day One - Session I: Recognition and Remembrance Measures

Session 1: Recognition and Remembrance Measures

15:00 - 16:05

CR.4 Plenary

 

The recognition of victims of terrorism as a unique body of individuals is the first step toward basic reparations, and for many, the first step towards healing and post-traumatic growth. Measures of recognition and remembrance symbolize a sense of public support from the State and society as a whole acknowledge the individual suffering of victims, and enable the provision of future rehabilitative and reparative services. This session explored how recognition can be given: from formal processes such as reparation and legal recognition to public commemorations and remembrance activities; and discussed the problems of lack of recognition that some victims face. It also highlighted best practices of Member States, civil society organizations, and others in supporting recognition and remembrance efforts around the world.
