African Truth Commissions and Transitional Justice examines the
functioning of truth commissions in Africa, outlining the lessons
learned, the best practices, and the successes and failures of
seven African truth commissions. Its introduction and conclusion
then work further to place truth commissions within the growing
academic field of transitional justice. The first African truth
commission was convened by the despot Idi Amin for reasons
unrelated to the defense of human rights, but despite this
ambiguous beginning, other African truth commissions have done
important work. The South African Truth and Reconciliation
Commission of 1996 has become the 'gold standard' for future truth
commissions not only in Africa, but throughout the world: it
unearthed much truth about the Apartheid era abuse of human rights
and took vital first steps towards restorative justice in the
Republic. Each truth commission is distinctive. However, although
much has been written about South Africa's truth commissions, much
less is known about the other six studied in this book-and an
attentive reader will notice the suggestive patterns which emerge.
