'We have a chance to make international justice ensure that Filipinos never forget,' Rappler justice reporter Lian Buan tells an audience in the Netherlands, home of the International Criminal Court.
For Rappler’s justice reporter Lian Buan, a way to ensure that truth prevails is to ensure that justice – even in the international arena – is attained., Buan noted the importance of the judgments of foreign courts in the cases against the dictator Marcos and his family which, although an imperfect narrative, remains “one of the last frontiers to preserving the truth on what happened during Martial Law.
Buan spoke during an event that was part of Justice Week in The Hague, the legal capital of the world. This city in the Netherlands also houses the, which is currently investigating possible crimes against humanity committed under Duterte’s violent war on drugs. The Philippine government under Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is opposing this move.
“It is important for the communities to ask these questions, but it is also difficult to explain to them why they are not answered until now,” Buan said. Buan, in her speech, pointed how the talk on international justice could get lost and fade due to it not being felt on the ground. But while there is a need to be careful not to give false hopes, it is important to acknowledge the agency and efforts of families seeking justice before the ICC.
