Witness to Truth - Volume Three B (Chapter 7: Reconciliation)

Reconciliation

This chapter will focus on the Commission's activities to promote reconciliation and to create a space for dialogue between communities divided by the experiences of the war. The narrative will draw upon excerpts from hearings to illustrate how the different parties were encouraged to reconcile with one another in the course of the Commission's work. These excerpts reflect the themes that underpin the TRC's approach to reconciliation, which includes the acknowledgment of past wrongdoings and a programme of reparations.
