Abstract:

In the period after civil war or mass atrocity, trials and truth commissions have been used in a growing number of societies to try to bring about social repair and acknowledgement. Unfortunately, they often fail.

The Haitian Commission Nationale de Vérité et de Justice sought to identify instigators, criminals and accessories to the serious human rights violations and the crimes against humanity which had been carried out during the coup d'état, from 29 September 1991 to 15 October 1994, both inside and outside of the country. However, the Commission was beset by a number of problems which resulted in its ultimate failure to achieve goals including acknowledgement and reconciliation. This paper considers those failures, and the lessons that can be learned from its experiences.
