National Council for Truth and Reconciliation (South Africa)

The National Council for Truth and Reconciliation (NCTR) in South Africa was established to address the injustices and human rights violations committed during the apartheid era, particularly from 1960 to 1994. Its role was to uncover the truth about past abuses, promote healing, and foster reconciliation by providing a platform for victims and perpetrators to share their stories. The NCTR aimed to contribute to national unity by ensuring an honest account of history, supporting restorative justice, and helping society move forward with a shared understanding of past wrongs.
