Truth and Reconciliation Commission
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
This is about the South African body.
For similar bodies in other countries, see List of truth and reconciliation commissions.
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) was a court-like body assembled in South Africa after the end of Apartheid.
Anybody who felt they had been a victim of violence could come forward and be heard at the TRC. Perpetrators of violence could also give testimony and request amnesty from prosecution. The hearings were national and international news and many sessions were televised on national TV. The TRC was a crucial component of the transition to full and free democracy in South Africa and, despite some flaws, is generally regarded as very successful.
