Commission on Truth and Reconciliation (South Africa)

The Commission on Truth and Reconciliation in South Africa was established after apartheid to uncover and acknowledge human rights abuses committed during that era. Its goal was to promote healing by allowing victims to share their stories, while granting some amnesty to perpetrators who truthfully disclosed their actions. The process aimed to foster national understanding, reconciliation, and justice, helping the country move forward from its troubled past. It was a key step in addressing past injustices and building a foundation for a more inclusive and democratic society.
