| dc.description.abstract | As states continue to rapidly transition from conflict or autocracy to democracy, there has
been need to address past gross human rights violations. To address these past egregious
violations, transitioning countries often relied on immunities and prosecutions. However,
prosecutions and amnesties presented several challenges that necessitated a recourse to
truth and reconciliation commissions (hereafter TRCs). Since then, TRCs have evolved to be
an essential accountability mechanism in transitional justice. | |
