Can amnesty help a country heal, or does it risk denying justice to victims?
In this edition of Nationwide, we unpack Article 31 of the CTRH Act, which allows amnesty for individuals who fully confess and provide evidence, while excluding serious crimes such as genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes.
The discussion looks at how decisions on amnesty are made, including factors like motive, context, and whether actions were carried out under orders, raising critical questions about accountability and command responsibility.
Gabriel Shadar speaks with Yasmin Sooka, Executive Director of the International Truth and Justice Project, on what this means for justice, reconciliation, and lasting peace in South Sudan.
