The Truth and Reconciliation Commission
In: Ohio Short Histories of Africa
"15 April 2016 marked 20 years since the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) hearings began. The TRC was set up to give an opportunity for perpetrators of human rights transgressions to come clean about the atrocities that happened during those evil days of apartheid. Sadly, only half of the truth came to the fore. Many families still do not know what happened to their loved ones. There are few people better placed than Mary Burton to write about the TRC, having been one of its Commissioners. Burton's pocket book provides an informed account from the inside of the process and workings of the TRC and a measured and balanced assessment of its outcomes and significance. Even at the time of its existence, the TRC came in for criticism from a variety of quarters: both the African National Congress and ex-President F.W. de Klerk took legal action to challenge or prevent the publication of the Commission's report; however, the Commission also fulfilled a vital and important role in the transition from apartheid to democracy, and it has become a model for other countries wishing to undertake similar journeys to deal with past atrocities and come to some kind of national resolution, reconciliation or closure."--Publisher's website

Evaluating the Truth and Reconciliation Commission
In: The journal of modern African studies: a quarterly survey of politics, economics & related topics in contemporary Africa, Band 39, Heft 3, S. 525-546
ISSN: 1469-7777
Following a negotiated transition to democracy in South Africa, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) was established to deal with crimes of the past regime. Despite the detail of submissions and the length of the Final Report, this article highlights the partiality of truth recognised by the Commission. The usefulness of acknowledged truth to deal with South Africa's past is shown to have been neutralised by wider concerns of social and criminal justice. In detailing the governmental reticence to provide reparations, the judicial disregard to pursue prosecutions, and the dismissal of responsibility for apartheid at a wider social level, the author argues that opportunities for reconciliation and developmental change are limited. Against the problems of crime, violence and unresolved land issues, the potential of the TRC to build a 'reconciliatory bridge' is called into question. The truth offered by the Commission increasingly appears of limited value.
DOCUMENTATION FROM TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION COMMISSIONS
In: Routledge Studies in Archives
Documentation from Truth and Reconciliation Commissions highlights the need for post-conflict societies to have access to - and to use - Truth Reconciliation Commissions (TRCs') documentation to achieve reconciliation and to work towards a democratic society. Including international contributions from a range of disciplines, the volume discusses the challenges that surround TRCs' documentation. Considering the impact of the politicization of documentation, chapters also highlight the lack of political will to democratize information, the lack of dissemination and the preservation infrastructures that hinder access and its effective use and re-use. Arguing that TRCs' documentation should be used to inform policy, improve governance and to promote justice, healing and reconciliation, the volume considers the ethical challenges involved in disseminating such information. Contributing authors argue that information professionals should play a major role in the planning for the TRCs' information management infrastructures, if they are to facilitate access, effectively manage the generated documentation, deal with preservation of the compound records and promote the dissemination of the TRC findings. Documentation from Truth and Reconciliation Commissions demonstrates that TRCs' documentation provides validation of human rights violations and that it helps to promote an understanding of the causes of conflict. As such, it will be essential reading for academics and students working in Archival Studies, Information Science, History, Transitional Justice, and Peace and Conflict Studies
Justifying the Truth and Reconciliation Commission
In: The journal of political philosophy, Band 8, Heft 4, S. 470-496
ISSN: 0963-8016
South Africa's Truth & Reconciliation Commission (TRC) has invited more philosophical debate than any previous commission of its kind. This paper argues that political philosophers' interest in the TRC stems from its inherently inconsistent nature. Though the TRC appeared to offer an appealing approach to the ending of apartheid, the nature of the TRC meant that both justice & truth would be sacrificed in the process. This fact cannot simply be ignored. The paper outlines two concepts that have emerged in an attempt to rationalize the TRC. The first is the newly recognized concept of "restorative justice"; the second justifies the TRC by claiming that the choice is moral & does not appeal to justice. The paper argues that both ideas should be rejected & offers a new concept that would both sustain & develop democracy -- that of "transformative justice.". K. A. Larsen

The Relationship Between Criminal Courts and Truth and Reconciliation Commissions Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) and Truth and Friendship Commission (TFC)
In: Evolutionary studies in imaginative culture, S. 550-560
ISSN: 2472-9876
This research explores the complex relationship between criminal courts, both national and international, truth and reconciliation commissions (TRC), and the Truth and Friendship Commission (TFC) in the context of resolving gross human rights violations in Indonesia. Examining the legal frameworks, the study delves into the dilemma surrounding the prosecution of perpetrators versus the forgiveness approach adopted by TRC/TFC for the sake of national unity. Drawing on Geoffrey Robertson's perspective, it questions the feasibility of pardoning heinous crimes and emphasizes the role of courts in establishing democratic legitimacy. The research aims to clarify criteria for utilizing ad hoc Human Rights Courts and TRC, considering provisions from MPR Decree No. V/MPR/2000 and Law No. 26/2000 on Human Rights Courts. Understanding TRC/TFC as extra-judicial institutions, the study discerns their limitations, specifically addressing human rights violations predating Law No. 26/2000. The research utilizes legal analyses and explores the implications of different approaches on justice, societal trust, and democratic consolidation. Ultimately, it seeks to contribute insights into the effective resolution of past human rights abuses and their impact on Indonesia's legal and social fabric.
