A talk by Barbara Frey
Director, Human Rights Program, University of Minnesota
January 23, 2014

Countries emerging from repression, armed conflict, or mass atrocities have sought ways to address the past as a part of their transition into new forms of governance and citizenship. In this introduction to the topic, Barbara Frey will review some of the methods and mechanisms that have been developed by national and international actors, including public memorials, truth commissions, and national or international criminal prosecutions to assist societies to transition away from their repressive pasts.

A warning to viewers, Ivan Watson’s report contains graphic descriptions of violence and sexual assault.
