Michael Robert Marchant - Thanks for contributing this! Thoughts? Transitional justice friends? A good deal of learning has certainly gone in the other direction. Tunisia recently launched their Truth and Dignity Commission, and recognised the co-operation with South Africa to help draft the transitional justice law. Nevertheless, and despite the continued tendency to see the South African TRC as a model for truth commissions, there are notable differences in the Tunisian approach. The Tunisian choice to focus on Dignity rather than Reconciliation is the first indication that this commission has taken a different course to post-Apartheid South Africa. The most significant difference is the fact that in addition to the traditional focus on abuse of civil and political rights in the form of violence, torture and other repression, it aims explicitly to investigate corruption and economic crimes (including fraud and misuse of public funds). dailymaverick.co.za/article/2014-11-18-op-ed-no-fear-in-following-the-money-a-lesson-for-south-africa/#.VGtL-PmUeVN
