We would therefore call for such a team to provide a voice for those without voices, namely, victims, and collect testimony from the most vulnerable groups, such as women, children and minorities. In so doing, we will avoid the pitfall of an official uniform narrative of the past that would be out of kilter with the conflict in fact experienced by the people. For post-conflict societies to reconcile themselves with their past, light — all the light — must be shed on events. It is in that way that hope for the future is born.
