Questions for Discussion

Why? * Would you agree that knowing truth helps victims heal? Why is finding out truth and ensuring accountability at the same time impossible sometimes? * In cases of widespread involvement in civil war crimes, how many of the perpetrators should be prosecuted? What if there is no well-established judicial system in the country?
