Please help me to answer those questions: How is South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Tribunal (TRC) different from other court hearings? What kinds of crime did it specifically only address? What is the difference between restorative and retributive justice? How is South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission a useful model for the spiritual rebirth for a nation? In what circumstances especially?
