FUTURESAVER OF THE WEEK ENDING 5-22-99

Truth and Reconciliation Commission is the South African group which set out to get as much of the truth about what happened in the apartheid years into the hands of all of the people and to get as much reconciliation between the opposing sides of that era as possible. They had many great successes under the leadership of Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu but truth and reconciliation still has gaps despite the official end of the Commission. It should be reconvened in some form. The Commission created a sterling model for other nations to emulate so that a genuine peace can be achieved between all nations and other major groups. The brutal atrocities committed during the years of apartheid have been laid bare in great detail. If all nations could have an equally extensive documentation of their recent historical atrocities and of the people who committed them, the world would have taken a huge step toward peace. For shining a searchlight on the reality of apartheid atrocities and for being an excellent model for the many other nations who harbor brutal secrets of gross human rights abuses, Truth and Reconciliation Commission has been named Futuresaver of the Week.
