The truth commissions should go first and present their suggested rules on amnesty and
their overall strategy to the group. The group should ask questions, interrupting when
necessary. The truth commissioners may decide to take some comments under
advisement and hold open the possibility of modifying their rules once they have heard
all concerns.
The police officers should go next, presenting their concerns and indicating any divisions
within their rank. They should be followed by the Caucasian and African-American
communities. All groups should be asked questions.
After a short break, the truth commissioners should come back with any revisions to their
rules and solicit further comments.
Step 6: Debriefing
Time:15-20 minutes
The class should fall out of their roles and the instructor should begin a discussion of the
exercise. Consider:
" Was it easy to come up with rules for a truth commission?
" What were the sticking points?
" Whose interests are most represented by the commission?
" How do victims feel about the offer of amnesty? Perpetrators?
" Does the truth commission address all forms of violence in the community?
" Would the proposed commission promote truth? Justice? Both?
" How is this commission like real-life commission, such as the one in South Africa?
How does it differ?
" How realistic is this exercise?
" Would your community support a "truth commission"? Are there issues that such a
community could address in your community?
