The first Regional Transitional Justice School was opened on Tuesday, January 22nd, 2013. Sandra Orlović, Executive Director of the Humanitarian Law Center, stated at the School’s opening ceremony that fact-finding about the past is important because it represents a way to become immune to myths, which always precede new wars. An understanding of the past also helps with our understanding of the present society and some universal topics and that is the symbolic way of paying our respects to all victims and acknowledge their sufferings.
