This shows, once more, that the Sousa Mendes project should be governed by the highest international principles and objectives, not just by local politics.
Joining the ITFHE is not a prize for good behavior, to be granted or withheld, it is the recognition of an obligation to remember the terrible lessons of the past and to help make sure that it never happens again, anywhere in the world.
So joining the Task Force should not be seen as a whitewash of the past, with all its dark spots, but as an assumption of responsibility for the future.
