The United Nations (UN) holds a special day to promote a human rights issue on March 24 each year. This day is called the “International Day for the Right to the Truth concerning Gross Human Rights Violations and for the Dignity of Victims”. The UN holds various global activities to promote this event. It also encourages governments and people worldwide to observe this international day by: * Honoring victims of human rights violations and promote the importance of the right to truth and justice. *Paying tribute to those who have devoted their lives to, and lost their lives in, the struggle to promote and protect human rights for all. *Recognizing the important work and values of Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero, of El Salvador, who was assassinated on March 24, 1980, after denouncing human rights violations and defending the principles of protecting lives, promoting human dignity and opposing violence. Greetings. So proud to be from El Salvador
