Our vision and values
Our work is guided by a simple belief: every victim deserves recognition, respect, and access to justice. Our values, anchored in universal human rights and international law, guide how we support victims, build partnerships, and work to promote accountability across borders. They define not only our goals, but also the way we work to achieve them.
Success for O7J is achieved when accountability efforts contribute in a tangible way to truth, justice, reparations, and guarantees of non-recurrence for the victims of the October 7 events.
The truth is strengthened through credible judicial and investigative procedures, which are capable of establishing reliable factual documentation and preserving historical memory from denial and distortion.
truth
Justice requires the existence of meaningful accountability mechanisms for the perpetrators of crimes, and in cases where evidence exists and in accordance with applicable law – also for those who planned, aided, abetted, or otherwise contributed to the commission of international crimes.
justice
Compensation and restitution arrangements recognize victims as rights holders entitled to rights, recognition, rehabilitation, compensation, and other forms of redress under domestic and international law.
Compensation
Non-recurrence requires strengthening legal norms, institutional safeguards, evidentiary capabilities, and accountability mechanisms, aimed at protecting citizens and preventing future atrocities.
