Healing or restorative truth is the truth that helps to repair past damage and that prevents the recurrence of civil violence. Restorative truth establishes a new moral order and makes recommendations for a political, social, and economic transformation.
Why is this important?
To maintain peace and prosperity in Liberia, Liberia must continue meditation processes in which the victim, the offender, and the other individuals or community members can actively participate in the mediation and resolution of past grievances. To continue restorative dimensions of their work, the TRC has created a Reconciliation Unit, which has engaged traditional religious leaders and solicited their views on the way forward for Liberia. We want a peaceful resolution.
