  • Abstract:
  • As a response to human rights violations followed by an internal civil war or conflict, as a follow-up to impart justice, implementing a government-led or independent commission is necessary to build sustainable peace. To this end, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission serves as a responsive body that systematically documents and records the unanswered questions of enforced disappearances, human rights violations, the nature and patterns of crimes committed, extra-judicial executions, and allegations of abuse. That is, the utmost purpose of Truth Commissions is to rule out the repetition of human rights violations for reconciliation is a must to follow.
