Rafael Grasa, consultant for the project ‘Medellín ¡Basta ya!’

ICIP president Rafael Grasa has been appointed to the Advising Committee for the project ‘Historical memory of violence in the context of armed conflict in the city of Medellín (Colombia): 1980 – 2013’, launched by the Medellín City Council, Colombia’s National Center for Historical Memory and the Colombian government.
The project aims to build an explanatory narrative of the armed conflict that the city of Medellín has experienced for decades, identify the damages caused by the violence, and describe the plurality of memories that exist in the context of the conflict. The project is scheduled to last eighteen months and involves the participation of experts in peacebuilding, memory, truth and justice, and reparation for victims.
The first meeting of the Advisory Committee will take place in Medellín on July 14-15.
