Psychosocial and community assessment to family members of victims of enforced disappearance and extreme violence in Peru: Informing Inter-national Courts of Human Rights.
Key points of interest
- This paper proposes the need to include a communitarian perspective in the forensic documentation of human rights violations.
- Addressing the community impact and the local idiom of distress can enable a deeper understanding of survivors’ long-term sequelae following human rights violations.
- Psycholegal accompaniment for victims, using a participatory research approach, is essential for the proper documentation of the consequences of violence in complex contexts, and the articulation of meaningful reparation proposals.
