Nahla Valji looks to uncover and reflect on the objectives, potency and obstacles that are so prevalent in the establishment of a trials and truth commission. She makes use of key references such as the Guatemala's Commission for Historical Memory (1994 – 1998 ) in an attempt to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of a truth commission. She expertly mulls over the role of criminal prosecutions in post-conflict trials and underlines the political agenda and impunity that exists in the establishment of a truth commission.
