Scenario

When truth commission members disagree on accountability versus healing approaches

Our truth and reconciliation commission has been collecting testimonies for eight months and some commissioners want to focus on individual healing while others push for systemic accountability and we're deadlocked on what our final report should actually accomplish. We keep having the same circular conversations about whether naming perpetrators serves justice or just perpetuates harm.

More people experience this than they realize.
