A reflection about the urgent necessity of a Universal Jurisdiction enabled to act where other initiatives fail. We are resolved to give voice to the forgotten victims of the Spanish Franco regime and determined to become an agent of change for the dissemination of some events which have left a mark on the Spanish society and which are still unknown nowadays by most of the population, who thinks to know them, but actually got a manipulated version in the best-case scenario.
LESA HUMANITAT (AGAINST HUMANITY) is a non-profit documentary about historical memory and universal justice, showing the struggle of different organizations. LESA HUMANIDAD gives voice and visibility to the victims of the Franco regime, to collect their testimonies, to end the indifference of a significant part of society and to restore their right to memory and justice. These are the objectives of the documentary project LESA HUMANIDAD, a non-profit documentary on historical memory and universal justice. What happens when human rights are continuously and systematically violated and these crimes of genocide have occurred in the recent past? And if, furthermore, there are laws framed within a democratic framework that protects impunity and exonerate the genocide criminals? Universal jurisdiction can form a great incentive that can trigger and promote judicial decisions that will ensure the reparation of victims who have suffered from a lack of protection and their freedom as a human being has been curtailed.
