Dr. Anita Ferrara, Assistant Professor at the ICHR, and Dr. Beatrice Canossi, co-editor and ICHR alumna, presented the book " Transitional Justice Archives: Documenting Human Rights Violations in Latin America" on June 13th 2025, at the JEP Colombia in Bogota.
The event began with a message from the president of the JEP, Judge Alejandro Ramelli Arteaga, who highlighted the work of the Recognition Chamber and the importance of the precautionary measures it ordered regarding the defunct Administrative Department of Security (DAS) files.
The Irish ambassador to Colombia, Fiona Nic Dhonnacha, delivered the opening remarks. Dhonnacha reaffirmed Ireland's support for the implementation of the Final Peace Agreement in Colombia and noted that the international community wants to understand more about the JEP's Transitional Justice system: "The entire world has its eyes on Colombia because the Agreement is innovative and robust."
They were accompanied by Judge Óscar Parra Vera, president of the JEP's Truth and Accountability Recognition Chamber; María Prada Ramírez, former member of the Truth Commission; Folco Zaffalon, former advisor to the Truth Commission and JEP researcher; and Flor Alba Romero Medina, professor at the National University.
