HLC is combating war crimes denial among a public reluctant to face the truth about the past and advocates the need to face the legacy of grave and systematic human rights abuses in the times of armed conflict. The organisation enables historians, researchers, victims’ families, the broader public and future generations to access information that is based on relevant and reliable documents.

As part of its efforts towards the establishment of transitional justice, HLC keeps the public, Serbian institutions and interstate organizations informed through statements, reports, conferences, bulletins, Forum for Transitional Justice, news conferences, web pages and publications.

In 2007, HLC published 67 statements, 11 transitional justice bulletins, several issues of the Forum for Transitional Justice periodical, one documentary film, one video record from an examination of witnesses, 45 volumes of transcripts from the ICTY trial of Slobodan Milošević in the B/C/S languages, the transcript from a round table entitled Genocide Judgement of the International Court of Justice and five reports on the state of minority rights in Kosovo.

HLC organizes public discussions on matters of transitional justice in the form of conferences, round tables, seminars, consultations, public victim hearings and judicial truth promotion. HLC makes video recordings of each event available on its website. In 2007, HLC produced the documentary about the Scorpions unit.

HLC continually seeks to enhance its programme communication, public information and outreach in order to raise public awareness of its goals, achievements and vision and to encourage the public and institutions to establish justice for victims, determine the accountability of perpetrators of war crimes, and prevent the manipulation of the number of victims.
