Survey article: Justifying the truth and reconciliation commission
Journal of Political Philosophy 8 (4):470–496 (2000)
Abstract
Truth commissions have emerged as popular devices for countries which are trying to move from a past of mass human rights violations to a stable and democratic future. South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) was by no means the first official commission to inquire into and report on a fraught past, yet it has attracted more interest, including philosophical interest, than any of its predecessors.Author's Profile
