The publication is devoted to the world experience of more than 50 truth commissions on different continents and the possibilities of using this experience for Ukraine.
For countries emerging from a state of armed conflict or liberating themselves from authoritarian regimes, the creation of such commissions, which are officially approved temporary extrajudicial investigative bodies and act directly during the transitional period, is given a relatively short period for collecting testimony, conducting investigations of human rights violations, studying materials and public hearings before they complete their work and publish a final report with recommendations.
The study was conducted by experts of the CivilM + platform Ilya Nuzov (International Federation of Human Rights, Paris) and Oleg Martynenko (Ukrainian Helsinki Human Rights Union, Kiev).
