On 18th January 2026, the Human Rights Commission of Sierra Leone (HRCSL) joined the nation in observing the first National Day of Remembrance, a day dedicated to reflecting on the horrors of the civil war and pledging “never again” to such violence.
The Commission emphasized its ongoing commitment to protecting and promoting human rights across Sierra Leone, while advocating for the full implementation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s (TRC) reparations programme.
HRCSL stressed the importance of ensuring that all victims and survivors of the civil war receive justice and support, leaving no one behind in the national healing and reconciliation process.
