These are key elements of the Commission's work programme and strategic objectives. The lecture will outline how the Commission delivers on these objectives on a day to day basis and how the engagement with the Victims and Survivors Forum is key to delivering these. Two members of the Forum will contribute to the lecture, sharing their experiences to date and in particular share their work and contribution to dealing with the past from the victims perspective.
