present and the future. Even though, - and as has been revealed by the recent attack on the monument “The Eye That Cries” in Lima, - the wounds of the past are still open, they have not healed. Many wounds take a long time, maybe decades or generations, to heal. It is true that compliance of the duty to remember is a symbolic form of reparation for the victims (and their next of kin), but it is also true that the preservation of collective memory has faced difficulties up to this date. 122. Among said difficulties, we have identified some, such as, for example: a) memorials do not guarantee that the abuses and atrocities of the past do not happen again; b) nor has there always been consensus on the inclusion of names of victims in memorials (v.g., the search to identify “innocent victims"); c) nor is the historic memory always the most acute little after the occurrence of the facts that violated human rights (it may occur that it become more acute with the passing of time); d) the perception of past facts is altered with the passing of time; and e) there is still not a lot of clarity with regard to the correlationship between the memorialization of past atrocities and the creation of a stable rule of law in democratic societies97 (in the terms of human rights treaties). 123. The recent attack on the monument “The Eye that Cries” in Lima has not been the only one in its kind in recent times. It has been preceded by others, and followed by three more in the course of the present year 2008, all of equal public and notorious knowledge. On 06.05.2008, the Belower Wald memorial, built in memory of the victims of a concentration camp (of Sachsenhausen, at the end of the II World War), and located in the Oriental State of Brandenburg in Germany, was attacked, as it had been previously attacked in 2002.98 On 09.11.2008, a stone memorial in they city of Frankfurt an der Oder, built in honor of the memory of the victims of the persecution against the Jewish (in the destruction of a temple in the Kristallnacht en 1938) was also attacked.99 124. On 04.10.2008, the Genocide Memorial in Rwanda was also attacked. Said memorial, - in the Gisozi Genocide Memorial Centre, in the city of Kigali in Rwanda, - had been inaugurated in April 2004, on the tenth anniversary of the tragedy of the genocide in Rwanda. The memorial went on to shelter the mortal remains of 250 thousand, of the total of more than 800 thousand victims, of the genocide of 1994 in Rwanda; even so, it has been attacked, for the first time, on 04.10.2008, during a vigil organized in memory of the victims of the mentioned tragedy.100 Said attacks to memorials in honor of the memory of victims of atrocities, in different parks of the world, raise questions that are without a doubt disturbing. 125. Memories are uncomfortable, and even so we have to nurture them. Memories chase us, and even so we have to live with them. More than that, we have to fight for them. Feelings of hate and vengeance are hard to eradicate,101 as can be concluded from . Cf. S. Brett, L. Bickford, L. Sevenko y M.
