Summary

The Special Rapporteur on the promotion of truth, justice, reparations and guarantees of non-recurrence, Fabián Salvioli, presents his report on his visit to Armenia from 16 to 24 November 2023, including his findings and recommendations.

In the present report, the Special Rapporteur examines the transitional justice measures adopted by successive administrations to address the legacy of serious violations of human rights endured in the context of repressive rule, autocratic governments and armed conflict. Although not part of a transitional justice process, many measures have been aimed at reversing the heritage of autocratic regimes and providing redress to soldiers and victims of conflict. However, progress in the areas of truth-seeking, criminal justice, reparation and memorialization has been uneven, requiring renewed and targeted efforts. Concerning guarantees of non-recurrence, the Special Rapporteur notes the adoption of measures to reform institutions and regulations to prevent State abuse and violence while underscoring that they require further consolidation.
