My eyes glaze over when I read shit like this:

Truth and reconciliation commissions

A criminal-only answer to atrocities committed in conflicts has turned out to be insufficient where rebuilding a social network that has been destroyed by years of war and restore a national peace is at stake. The issue of reconciling former enemies and teaching them to live together again requires collective recovery mechanisms, which is something that tribunals do not offer. This is the reason why, in the last twenty years, the use of truth and reconciliation commissions has increased in post-conflict societies. With them, a new aspect of transitional justice arose, with no judges or tribunals, and giving the victims a more important role in the proceedings.

They'll contribute to "Justice," by subverting the very principle (because of expediency) on which justice rests, namely "Just Desserts." (A retributive theory of criminal punishment that proposes reduced judicial discretion in sentencing and specific sentences for criminal acts without regard to the individual defendant.)
