preservation of archives and other material sources of memory; commemoration of the events, and educational policies for preserving memory and enshrining its value. 7.1 Enacting a law on historical memory This law should guarantee access to justice for all victims of the enforcement of the national security doctrine, and the development of public policies designed to rehabilitate and honor the memory and the values of those who were victims of these practices of state terrorism. It should satisfy the standard qualities of transitional justice, it should ensure investigation of facts comprising serious human rights violations during the repression, it should meet the requirements of truth and the right of victims to know, including both the right of access to information, and the right to know the identity and whereabouts of the perpetrators of the extrajudicial executions, acts of torture and sexual violence, and the whereabouts of the people who were detained and went missing. Specifically, this law should guarantee: truth, justice, reparation, guarantees of nonrecurrence, construction and preservation of historical memory, including a law for victims and a program for comprehensive reparation of victims of the enforcement of the national security doctrine. 7.2 Enacting a law for investigation of responsibilities along the entire chain of command A law making it possible to investigate persons in the chain of command who were involved in the politically motivated crimes in the 1980s, and particularly the murder of Herminio Deras, with the coordinated participation of various agents at different levels and hierarchical structures who hold a variety of positions. 7.3 Amending domestic laws on torture The current criminal code should be revised in its sentencing provisions for aggravating or mitigating circumstances, to be consistent with Article 4(2) of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, to guarantee that justice is served in cases of extrajudicial execution, acts of torture, and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment. 7.4 Policies to preserve archives and sites of conscience For the purpose of preservation, the State can consider creating a document collection on human rights violations committed from the 1980s to the present, identifying documents in the possession of security forces and other public institutions concerning human rights violations. The development of this document collection would require the implementation of principles of government transparency and access to information, including a declaration to repeal all rules and regulations that could block declassification of information on human rights violations. It should particularly stipulate that the concept of “national security” cannot be used to block access to information on human rights violations. The document collection must be open to receive donations from social organizations and individuals, such as human rights defense agencies, victim groups, and the media. 7.5 Policies for education on memory Primary and secondary education in Honduras must include multiple instances for teaching the history of the periods of violence, using dynamic, pedagogically sound, creative approaches. Instruments such as the report by the human rights ombudsman on forced disappearance and the work of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission should be incorporated into the educational curriculum, facilitating their adaptation and synthesis for various formats and models, including school textbooks, comic-book format, short stories, multimedia presentations, oral history, and the like. On this basis, the Office of the Public Prosecutor will work with relevant institutions and those that are empowered to enact laws, to foster the issuing of public policies and legislation regulating these matters. 112.
