Transitional Justice and Indigenous Peoples:

Justice and Reparation for Multiple Life Systems

Date: Wednesday, February 17

Hour:  1.00 p.m. -2.30 pm

With:

• Belkis Izquierdo Torres, judge for the Chamber for the Acknowledgment of Truth, Responsibility and the Determination of Facts and Conduct of the Special Jurisdiction for Peace, Colombia
• Lieselotte Viaene, Professor in the Department of Social Sciences at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (Spain)

In the Colombia Peace Accords, the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP) has recognized indigenous territories as victims of armed conflict in several of its legal decisions. These groundbreaking decisions invite the human rights and transitional justice communities to deeply rethink their conceptualization of human life, since they recognize that human beings are not the only living beings who can be damaged and violated – with the rights to justice and reparation in the context of the transitional justice processes.

Event co-sponsored by the Environmental Studies program, the Biology Department, and the Applied Developmental and Educational Psychology program at the Lynch School.

Spanish to English translation will be provided.
