Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC)

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) is a body established to address past human rights abuses after a period of conflict or oppression. It aims to uncover the truth about what happened, promote healing, and foster reconciliation among affected communities. By documenting experiences, providing a platform for victims to share their stories, and recommending measures to prevent future violations, the TRC seeks justice and accountability. The process encourages societal healing, understanding, and the rebuilding of trust, often in post-apartheid or post-conflict societies, like South Africa, where it played a significant role in transitioning to democracy.
