Establishing truth through research, documentation, and credible publications.
Advocacy and publication are key pillars because acknowledging the truth is essential for any amicable solution. The Foundation convenes national and regional platforms for dialogue and policy advocacy grounded in human rights and constructive diplomacy.

Truth is essential for national reconciliation. Without an honest acknowledgment of history and the experiences of Bhutanese refugees, meaningful dialogue and lasting peace remain elusive.
Through rigorous research, documentation, and the production of credible publications, the Foundation works to establish an evidence-based foundation for policy discussions and reconciliation efforts.
