Tribute to KIAN PIRFALA, 9 years old and victim of the Islamic Republic's savagery 10 years ago.

Editorial by G. d'A.: Dear reader, as a webmaster also I constantly have to guard the read-ability of the 'Cryfreedom'-outlet and sometimes decisions need to be made to have it be for your convenience and moreso in total support of the women-led revolt in Iran which inevitably will be a grand Victory. Still, choices must be made always and so I've decided to, for now, embed all the actual news about the 'NO-hijab; 'Biological terror attscks against schoolgirls'; 'Iranian journalists under siege'; 'Blinding as a weapon' and 'The hanging spree' as part of the 'Actual news' updates of the Iran 'Woman, Life, Freedom' section. But, if need be and urgent attention and action is needed concerning the above mentioned topics it will get an extra emphasized place as part of the actual news page-layout. Thank you for being a reader and for your support of the 'Woman, Life, Freedom' revolution.

Zahra Rahnavard
Iranwire - September 25, 2024 - by Pezhman Tahavori
Can National Unity Pave the Way for Transitional Justice in Iran?
In the wake of President Masoud Pezeshkian's claims for the formation of a <National Unity> government and repeated emphasis on achieving national unity to preserve and save Iran, a critical question arises: Can it pave the way for transitional justice? Moreover, is there a connection between national unity and transitional justice, and whether one is a prerequisite for the other? Zahra Rahnavard, former president of Al-Zahra University in Tehran and a prominent figure in the Green Movement who has been under house arrest, responded to the proposal for forming a national unity government in an open letter. She emphasized, "National unity requires the recognition of equal rights for all citizens and their effective participation in shaping the country's political, economic, social, and cultural destiny." Rahnavard highlighted the widespread violation of women's rights, stating, "With the formation of the National Unity Cabinet, we must remember that the suppression and deprivation of women's human rights, freedom, justice, and the ability to choose their destiny in both private and public life continues unabated." She argued that addressing these injustices is a prerequisite for national reconciliation, which can only be achieved through transitional justice.
Transitional Justice as a Mechanism for National Unity
Transitional justice entails a range of judicial and non-judicial strategies to address widespread human rights abuses and guide societies from periods of conflict to peace, democracy, human rights, and the rule of law. Its objective is to hold perpetrators accountable, promote national reconciliation, prevent the recurrence of conflict, and establish sustainable peace while transitioning to democracy and embedding human rights and legal norms. The successful implementation of transitional justice hinges on the transition from dictatorship, violence, and repression. Without justice being served for the victims and violators of human rights, cycles of violence and revenge can persist, potentially leading to renewed tyranny.
A robust federal mechanism for transitional justice is essential for achieving national unity. Peru's journey to transitional justice provides valuable insights.
Peru's Experience with Transitional Justice
For two decades, from 1980 to 2000, Peru faced a harrowing period of armed conflict, government repression, and widespread human rights violations. However, the turning point towards transitional justice came not from the violence but from the exposure of systemic corruption under President Alberto Fujimori. In 2000, public outrage over government corruption and economic hardship led to mass protests. Fujimori fled the country and resigned from the presidency, setting the stage for a transitional period. This transition allowed international legal institutions to intervene and implement mechanisms for transitional justice. Following Fujimori's departure in September 2000, a power vacuum ensued. The transitional justice process was officially initiated in June 2001. The Peruvian government established the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) to investigate serious human rights abuses and provide redress to the victims. One of the primary goals of the TRC was to address the deep-rooted social, economic, geographic, and educational inequalities that had fueled decades of political violence in Peru. The commission aimed to compensate victims and implement measures to prevent similar tragedies from occurring in the future. With Fujimori's escape and the removal of corrupt military officers, a transitional government was formed under President Valentín Paniagua. During this interim period, the government focused on prosecuting human rights violators and investigating corruption. Despite its short duration, the transitional government successfully restored democratic institutions, reinstated the rule of law, and prioritized respect for human rights. Moreover, the Paniagua government worked to reestablish Peru's position in international treaties, such as the Inter-American Convention on Human Rights and the International Criminal Court, while overseeing free and fair elections. The transitional justice process in Peru went beyond criminal prosecutions. The TRC spearheaded national reconciliation efforts, encouraged dialogue, and set up an inter-institutional commission to compensate victims. The commission also pursued Amnesty for political prisoners and initiated a "truth-seeking" investigation to uncover the underlying causes of violence and identify those responsible for human rights violations.
Key Objectives of Transitional Justice
Several nations, including Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico, and Panama, have grappled with violence and have turned to transitional justice mechanisms to move from conflict to peace. While some call this process the "transition to democracy," transitional justice encompasses more than just democracy and involves a clearly outlined procedure. The approach and execution of transitional justice vary across countries, shaped by each society's unique culture, the collaboration of diverse social groups, and the prevailing economic, social, and political conditions. While specific actions may differ, transitional justice generally includes the following:
Prosecution of Offenders: Perpetrators of human rights violations are often prosecuted in international courts, such as those established by the United Nations, for crimes against humanity and war crimes.
Compensation for Victims: Victims may receive financial reparations or symbolic gestures like official apologies, the construction of memorials, and public recognition.
Structural Reforms: Reforms in institutions such as the police, military, and judiciary are essential to preventing future human rights violations and holding perpetrators accountable.
Fact-finding Commissions: These commissions investigate patterns of abuse and identify the root causes of serious human rights violations, providing recommendations for the future.
Temporary Institutions During Transition: Legal, judicial, or political temporary institutions are established to aid the justice process and facilitate the transition to peace and democracy.
Peru's Transitional Justice: Progress, Challenges, and Hope
Following the formation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Peru managed to break free from its history of violence and armed conflict. However, long-standing issues like discrimination and inequality persist, and the progress of civil society organizations focusing on economic, social, cultural, and environmental rights has been slow. Despite these challenges, several accomplishments stand out. Transitional justice in Peru has seen the condemnation of widespread human rights violations and prosecution of violators, revision of unjust judicial rulings, identification of victims, and establishment of a compensation plan. Peru has also witnessed the creation of memorials for victims and the promotion of a culture of tolerance, the growth of academic research and artistic efforts addressing the nation’s violent past, the institutionalization of human rights culture within law enforcement and defense institutions, improved access and social inclusion in education, and extensive support campaigns for residents of marginalized areas.
Lessons from Around the World
While not fully achieving a democratic transition or establishing equal citizenship, transitional justice in Peru has significantly transformed a country with a long history of discrimination and inequality. Public culture, societal cooperation, and readiness for reconciliation influence the success of transitional justice. While international courts address severe human rights violations, the most impactful aspect of transitional justice is promoting tolerance and compromise within society. As Iran grapples with its own history of human rights abuses and political turmoil, the lessons from Peru's experience provide valuable guidance.>>
