For the first time the International Day Right to the Truth proclaimed by the UN General Assembly in recognition of the work of human rights protection by Monsignor Romero, assassinated on March 24, 1980.
The Right to Truth is part of the duty, under international law every State to ensure, respect and enforce human rights. Obligation by legal commitments, political and moral to the international community.
The truth is necessary to understand and learn, is an instrument of prevention, education for the future. Demonstrating how to act all state structures and were able to do, is that we can minimize the risk that happening again. Because it allows the correction of official agencies directly and indirectly involved in violations, that is possible it anymore.
The search for truth is the engine that drives us as a group: knowing what happened to each of our missing relatives. Know why, when, where and who was responsible.
The truth is important in itself, and even more so when it is known by everyone. It begins with justice and reparation for victims, family members, the entire society.
We are entitled to know all the circumstances surrounding the fate of our family. The State that is required to investigate the damage from their own institutions - and state officials who were perpetrators of the crimes and terrorism exercised, has assumed the obligation late and has done so only partially.
The current government headed by José Mujica, announces that it will continue with efforts by the previous government. The fact that Uruguay has been one of the initiators of the Declaration encourages us to consolidate the search for truth in our country. Now it is vitally
a match between what is preached at the international level, the commitments assumed as a country, with its realization. Therefore, we believe that strengthening the implementation of the Secretariat of Monitoring Committee for Peace-committed as President of the Republic, must be realized immediately.
