Memorandum submitted by Democratic Dialogue
Please find attached by way of written submission
to the committee our two reports on "victims issues".[4]
You might wish particularly to copy for members' the conclusions
to the two reports, which inter alia set out a distinct approach
to "truth recovery".
This might be set out as having two key characteristics,
without which it seems difficult to see how any progress can be
achieved:
(i) It is an ethical approach, premised on
the application of universal values, where conflicting moral universes
otherwise collide.
(ii) It is driven by a concern for objectivity
and impartiality of treatment rather than selective articulation
of "truths" for partisan purposes.
I hope these documents will be helpful, and
will complement the input to the committee from the Healing Through
Remembering project.
