| dc.description.abstract | It is a well-established lesson that a constitutionally established normal justice system of a certain state may not afford to be effective in times of post conflict transitional periods. Several international experiences have re-affirmed this condition. In transitional justice, in turn, it is a common practice to establish a truth and reconciliation commission as a transitional institution to help the transition process. Ethiopia, currently, has established a reconciliation commission by proclamation which seems to presuppose that the state is in transition. The establishment of the commission triggers discourse and studies, one of which might be exploring on how it should operate and contribute for the successful reconciliation process. Therefore, the paper reviewed 8 commissions out of more than 50 commissions that the world has ever seen. Through reviewing the international experiences, the present study recommended potential lessons for the Ethiopian reconciliation commission. | |
