Truth or Reconciliation Mechanism – 1999

1999

No Implementation No implementation

The Lomé Agreement of July 7, 1999 included a provision for the establishment of a Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

On July 19, 1999, the European Commission urged the establishment of a Truth and Reconciliation Commission in order to support a fair and equitable justice system in the country.1

Nothing concrete took place in 1999 in terms of establishing such a Commission.
