QUOTES

"...we should not give up and say that the situation is hopeless. There is still our conscience, there is still the memory of the victims of this war, there is still our duty to try and prevent further bloodshed. We have to prosecute all the perpetrators of war crimes and crimes against humanity."

"...civil society has not lost the possibility to influence the government and force them to change their policy. That is why we believe in your voice and your help."
