Genocide And Human Rights Questions
The role of truth commissions in post-genocide societies is to investigate and document the human rights abuses and atrocities committed during the genocide. They aim to uncover the truth about what happened, provide a platform for victims to share their experiences, and hold perpetrators accountable. Truth commissions also contribute to reconciliation efforts by promoting understanding, healing, and preventing future conflicts. They often make recommendations for reparations, institutional reforms, and educational initiatives to address the root causes of the genocide and promote human rights.
