Timor-Leste, which restored its independence from Indonesia, is one of the countries where the UN has carried out successful peacekeeping and peace-building operations. Rwanda is another country which has emerged as a dynamic and progressive country after the genocide. It is one of the most rapidly developing nations in Africa. There are many conflict-prone and post-conflict countries that experienced civil wars and internal conflicts that made ethnic and other groups almost impossible to reconcile their animosity and hatred. Yet, the experience of Timor-Leste in transitional justice shows a path towards peace after conflict. The relationship among truth, justice and peace is the subject matter for the presentation by Prof. Hasegawa. With his direct experience in UN peace-building operations in Cambodia, Somalia, Rwanda and Timor-Leste, he will talk about various processes of peace-building, particularly the nexus among “truth,” “justice” and “peace.”
