dc.description.abstractThis brief indicates some lessons and problems from TRC experiences in Africa and makes recommendations for Kenya. Drawing on experiences from South Africa, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ghana and DRC, this brief cautions that previous TRCs have not been as successful as is sometimes assumed. While the South African TRC (SATRC) gave new prominence to TRCs (or TJRC in the case of Kenya3), it has led to a fixation on a particular form of transitional justice at the expense of careful consideration of the goals sought and the context of the specific transitions. For the Kenyan TJRC to succeed it will have to respond to some of the problems identified.en
