Truth and Reconciliation Commission

A truth and reconciliation commission is an official body tasked with discovering and revealing past wrongdoing by a government or other actors, in the hope of resolving conflict left over from the past. The concept has existed since the early 1990s at least, and the name Truth and Reconciliation Commission became commonly used following South Africa's commission in 1996.
