“Residential Schools: Truth, Justice and Healing – International Exchanges”
LWBC’s Annual Forum 2021 will focus on the challenges surrounding truth, justice and healing in the aftermath of human rights violations. Canada, like other countries in the world, has been grappling with these issues for a long time in light of the many human rights violations committed against Indigenous peoples — a topic that profoundly resonates considering the recent findings of graves linked to the country’s former residential schools.
Building on its long-lasting work with, and support for partners in various countries dealing with similar situations, LWBC wishes to promote international dialogue around the practical challenges faced by the victims of these crimes and the societies in which they were committed. The two-day Forum will comprise four sessions. Each half-day session will cover one of the four following crucial societal challenges: truth, justice, reparation, and guarantees of non-repetition.
