The TRC aimed to understand and acknowledge human rights abuses from apartheid in South Africa through various committees. The Human Rights Violations Committee aimed to investigate abuses, while the Reparation and Rehabilitation Committee worked to recommend reparations to prevent future violations. Amnesty served as a means to promote truth-telling and reconcile the past with the future.
