STIR Radio - Healing the Wounds of the Past - Pt1

How do countries cope with traumatic events in their history? Whether they’ve gone through apartheid, genocide or civil conflict, moving on is hard to do for both survivors and later generations. Eleanor, Nicola, Claudia and Adelaide use the examples of South Africa, Liberia, Cambodia and Rwanda to compare the way nations tackle the healing process, focussing especially on the contrast between Truth and Reconciliation Commissions and Criminal Tribunals. They also ask young people who have moved to Australia from some of these countries how they feel about the approach their country has taken. Tune in to hear more about the differences between the two types of process – which are still going on all over the world today – and the ways they can help ordinary people come to terms with the past and move forward into the future.
