| Title | Amnesty in South Africa: A Study of the Committee on Amnesty in Transitional South Africa |
| Summary | Many countries have faced the pains of authoritarian governments. South Africa is one of them. Wracked by a history of violence and suffering, South Africa became an all inclusive democracy in 1994. The transition in South Africa has now become one of the most talked about transitions. Unlike the countries of Latin America, South Africa embarked on a search for not only truth, but for reconciliaiton as well. This thesis will provide the reader with an analysis of the transition. By analysing select cases from the Amnesty Committee, this thesis will provide the reader with a deeper understanding of the transistion, as well as the amnesty process in South Africa. |
