Truth and Reconciliation Commission diaspora project

Liberia’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) was the first Truth Commission to engage systematically with diaspora members through documented statements and fact-finding interviews of victims, witnesses, and perpetrators. The TRC, which ran from 2005-2009, heard statements from more than 1600 Liberians in the diaspora, with over 20 diaspora witnesses participating in public hearings.
