Focussing on such diverse countries as Chile, South Africa, Ireland and the former Yugoslavia, this text focuses on the issue of truth about past human rights abuses which have occurred in times of war and dictatorship. It asks whether the quest for this truth is a precondition for a more just future or a stumbling block to reconciliation between enemies. It includes a 40-page feature on truth and reconciliation, and a country file on Nigeria, giving an insider's view of the rampant corruption and injustice of General Abacha's government.
