Can Truth Commissions Strengthen Peace Processes?

The organizers had grappled with what seemed like a singular paradox. Several truth commissions had been created after armed conflicts, with a growing tendency towards uniformity in their mandates.

Despite the expansion of this collective knowledge, however, some recent truth-seeking processes have gone through near-paralyzing crises.
