Truth and reconciliation commission

A truth and reconciliation commission is a group of people chosen by a government to hear the stories of people whose rights were violated in the past. It is normally set up after a country has gone through a difficult period such as a war or a dictatorship. The commission's job is to investigate what happened, listen to victims of the violation, and try to improve understanding and bring healing to people who were hurt in the past. The commission might recommend changes to the government or laws, provide compensation for victims, or even recommend criminal charges against people who committed the violations.
