South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission

The South African reconciliation-commission">Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) was established in the 1990s after apartheid ended. Its main goal was to address the human rights abuses that occurred during that period. The TRC provided a platform for victims to share their stories and for perpetrators to confess their crimes in exchange for amnesty. This process aimed to promote healing and reconciliation in society by acknowledging past wrongs, fostering dialogue, and encouraging accountability. The TRC's work was crucial in helping South Africa transition to a more democratic and inclusive society.
