MOTIVATION LETTER (600 word limit, must be included below and not in a separate e-mail or as an attachment)Ideas to strengthen the nomination to the Office of the Special Rapporteur on the promotion of truth, justice, reparation and guarantees of non-repetition. In the formulation of the principles of truth, justice, reparation and guarantees of non- repetition to the victims of serious violations of human rights, we can find a collective transformative construction, supported by the contributions of the countries that make up the United Nations and the different organizations of the civil society that marks the field of action and the north of the work that the Office of the Special Rapporteur must carry out. In this way, reinforcing the set of principles for the protection and promotion of human rights through the fight against impunity , as well as its updated version , it is very necessary to deepen and apply new strategies, policies and measures to face the manifest violations of human rights and serious violations of international humanitarian law. In that sense, in the face of the current global situation, the Rapporteurship must take into account the specific contexts of each situation to promote policies to prevent human rights violations, and thus ensure social cohesion, nation-building, involvement of victims in the process and promote reconciliation. Always, under a guarantee line that reinforces and complements the right of the victims to obtain an integral reparation , as the Rapporteurship has been doing in the last five years.To achieve their goals, they must be intensified and new standards created at the judicial level to avoid any form of cover-up or to prevent acts of investigation on serious violations of human rights, such as the disguises of prescription, amnesty, invocation of obedience due, among other measures. In addition, this task requires a global and unified approach that covers the full range of judicial and non-judicial measures, in particular individual prosecutions, reparations, the search for truth, institutional reform, or an appropriate combination of those measures, in order, among other things, to guarantee accountability, to do justice, to provide remedies to victims, to promote the recovery of normalcy and reconciliation, to establish independent entities that supervise security and justice systems, to reestablish trust in institutions and promote the rule of law in accordance with international human rights standards, as emphatically and clearly established in Resolution 18/7 of the Human Rights Council.Indeed, in the face of a world panorama with advances and setbacks in the matter, with States with weakened transitional justice and, faced with a heavy agenda of the Human Rights Council, it is necessary to further enhance the tasks of the Rapporteurship in a specific manner. This in order to creatively strengthen the transcendent work of the Council, under the following coordinates: a. complementarity of issues already addressed and new demands; b. interrelation of related topics that work without connection - V.g. security and justice-, and c. Emphasize the implementation, impact, monitoring / indicators. To consolidate the achievements and face the challenges, a 7 | P a g e SECOND PART: APPLICATION FORM IN WORD FORMAT Special Rapporteur on the promotion of truth, justice, reparation and guarantees of non-recurrence [HRC resolution 36/7] Appointment to be made by the Human Rights Council at its 37th session (26 February - 23 March 2018) holistic vision is needed to strengthen the network of cooperation and assistance among victims, civil society actors and States, at different levels - highlighting the work of local governments. In this way, under a systemic approach that puts human rights at the center of the design and execution of the action plans, which combines the non- separable tripod: political will; technically adequate plans and allocation of human and material resources may the Rapporteurship on Truth, Justice, Reparation and Guarantee of non-repetition continue to fulfill in the best possible way their missions and functions by, for and from human rights .-8 | P a g e SECOND PART: APPLICATION FORM IN WORD FORMAT Special Rapporteur on the promotion of truth, justice, reparation and guarantees of non-recurrence [HRC resolution 36/7] Appointment to be made by the Human Rights Council at its 37th session (26 February - 23 March 2018)IV.
