Description

Mr. Moses Katjiuongua, MP (Namibia), and President of Parliamentarians for Global Action (PGA), opened PGA’s 20th Annual UN Parliamentary Forum on human rights and peace with the fundamental question of how, in a rapidly globalizing world, principles of human rights can be enforced on international, national and local levels?

Striking an acceptable balance of peace and justice is a delicate operation, and unique to each situation. The record of truth commissions, in those countries that have had them, offers a preview of some of the challenges the ICC will have to address.
