Ghana National Reconciliation Commission

The Ghana National Reconciliation Commission (NRC) was established in 2002 to address human rights abuses that occurred during the country's years of political turmoil, particularly from 1981 to 2001. The commission aimed to uncover the truth about these abuses, promote healing among victims, and recommend measures for national unity and forgiveness. By documenting testimonies from victims, perpetrators, and witnesses, the NRC sought to foster accountability and prevent future conflicts. Its work was crucial in helping Ghana transition towards a more stable and democratic society, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging past wrongs to build a better future.
