Focusing on the role of truth commissions in aiding victims of mass violence, this book explores the complex dynamics of truth-telling in post-conflict settings, specifically in Timor-Leste and the Solomon Islands. It examines why truth-telling can yield both healing and harm for victims, emphasizing the importance of voice as a mechanism for overcoming disempowerment. By analyzing pathways from truth-telling to healing, the work addresses gaps in transitional justice literature and offers practical insights for improving future justice processes to better support victims.
