Truth Commissions and Indigenous Rights: What is at Stake?
The conference on Strengthening Indigenous Rights through Truth Commissions took place last week. Eduardo Gonzalez and Joanna Rice of ICTJ’s Truth and Memory Program discussed the possibilities and limitations of utilizing truth commissions to strengthen and support the rights of indigenous peoples.

The second day of the conference opened with a panel on the potential of truth commissions to provide social, political, and material empowerment; report on rights violations; and rectify wrongs done to indigenous people.
