	Truth and Reconciliation Commission - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) was a court-like body assembled in South Africa after the end of Apartheid.
		The mandate of the commission was to bear witness to, record and in some cases grant amnesty to the perpetrators of crimes relating to human rights violations, reparation and rehabilitation.
		In theory the commission was empowered to grant amnesty to those charged with atrocities during Apartheid as long as two conditions were met: The crimes were politically motivated and the entire and whole truth was told by the person seeking amnesty.

	The Head Heeb: Truth versus reconciliation
		The primary purpose of truth commissions - the determination of historical fact - is also one of the two main functions of courts of law.
		One possibility is to use truth commissions as investigative grand juries - the type that hand up reports rather than indictments - and charge them with creating a comprehensive report on the background of a conflict.
		This could be a very valuable function; one of the many factors that has made the International Criminal Tribunal on Rwanda so glacially slow is the need to prove the background facts anew in each case, and the existence of a judicially recognized report could greatly simplify the task of prosecution.

		Hazim Kazic, secretary general of the Association Truth and Reconciliation, participated in the conference on international justice that was organized by the International Federation of Human Rights and Memorial in Moscow.
		The conclusion of the round table discussion was that the city of Mostar and its citizens are unanimous in their determination to support establishment of Truth and Reconciliation Commission in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

	South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission - Simpson & van Zyl
		It is apparent that a blurred pursuit of "reconciliation and peaceful solutions", without adequate regard for its impact on policing, the courts, and the control of crime, will do more to threaten social stability.
		Despite the ostensibly noble motivations for national reconciliation, any amnesty/indemnity arrangement without a parallel obligation to disclose the nature of the crimes perpetrated, however critical it may have been in driving the negotiation process forward, in fact has grave implications for the longer-term prospects of national reconciliation.
		In order to advance such reconciliation and reconstruction, amnesty shall be granted in respect of acts, omissions and offenses associated with political objectives and committed in the course of the conflicts of the past.

		It is my view that the peace process has in fact put off the real reconciliation that must occur if the 100-year war between Zionism and the Palestinian people is to end.
		There can be no reconciliation unless both peoples, two communities of suffering, resolve that their existence is a secular fact, and that it has to be dealt with as such.
		For others, who want peace as a result of reconciliation, there is dissatisfaction both with the religious parties' increasing hold on Israeli life and Oslo's unfairness and frustrations.

	Update From Lori Berenson's Family -
		, the second anniversary of Lori's wrongful sentencing, members of the Peruvian Truth and Reconciliation Commission were in Washington, DC to talk about their findings to the human rights community and sections of the U.S. government.
		Questions were raised about the treatment of political prisoners in Perú, what the Truth and Reconciliation Commission had concluded about the illegal anti-terrorist laws of Perú, and whether torture of prisoners had been investigated.
		Rather than face up to real problems of poverty, inequality, and other forms of injustice, and in an effort to detract from the work of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, some political leaders look to place blame on those who cannot argue back.

	Truth About Reconciliation
		Paul continues to expound the truth of reconciliation by saying that he was made a minister according to the economy of God that had been given to him for US, so that we might fulfil the word of God.
		Reconciliation must mean that every part of our being has been brought into harmony with Christ, enabling us to express what he is. God expresses his Peace in the perfection of Christ.
		In this sense, truth is something that has always been, and can never change for it is set in the reality of God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things that are not as though they were.

		It must have to do with truth, not only in an intellectual but also in a moral sense; and not in an abstract but in a historical sense; and not only in the individual but in the personal — that is, as relating to persons and therefore of culture.
		But the sad truth is that the quality of thinking and writing in modern Western societies (where people still have the privilege and leisure to think that they are thinking) continues to degrade.
		Yet scientific ‘truth’ has lost sight of it, and the consequences of this blindness are becoming more and more alarming.

	DEBATING SOUTH AFRICA'S TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION COMMISSION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission (trc) caught the attention of the world for reasons that go far beyond the often horrific stories that came to light during its hearings.
		Here, justice is most often understood as being retributive: the kind of justice meted out by a court of law in a criminal trial in which the accused has been found guilty of an offence in accordance with appropriate procedures, and a punishment proportional to the offence has been determined.
		In ‘Institutions for Restorative Justice: The South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission,' Jennifer J. Llewellyn and Robert Howse adopt this approach, arguing that once the ends of retributive justice are properly understood, one can see that the trc achieved those ends.

		Most Christians have very little understanding on the subject of Reconciliation due to the fact that they have majored in the topic of Sin despite the scripture I just quoted.
		It may be very real to us, but only the truth of our being will set us free from the law of sin and death.
		It is very different than what we have been taught but before you dismiss parts of it be sure to meditate on what is being said and you will receive revelation of what you have heretofore taken for granted.

	‘VICTIMS, PERPETRATORS AND HEALERS AT THE TRUTH & RECONCILIATION COMMISSION: BEING IN THE SAME BOAT’
		This is a grave charge indeed, namely, that reconciliation and reparation is not the same as justice, and it is similar to the charges made against Truth Commissions in other countries like Argentina and Chile, where indemnity was safeguarded for perpetrators by the military governments of the day.
		In South Africa too, it must be said, the Truth Commission was born of political compromise, though what needs to be remembered is that the amnesty provision was part of the overall negotiated settlement in South Africa, negotiations that saw the first non-racial elections in the country.
		Interestingly, Truth is not mentioned in the title, and nor was the Bill entitled the National Unity and Justice Bill, nor, for that matter, was it named the National Unity and Retribution Bill or the National Unity and Rage Bill.
