Recommendation 27
27
Societal reconciliation's success depends on people's admissions and acknowledgment of truth.
Conclusion
We plan to inquire into societal reconciliation in more depth. At this juncture, however, it is clear—not least from the brave testimony of victims and survivors during this inquiry—that reconciliation stands a chance of succeeding only if accompanied by people’s admissions— and acknowledgment—of the truth. (Conclusion, Paragraph 227) 86
