In the United States and around the world, there have long been calls to reform criminal justice systems in ways which victims, perpetrators, and society at large are restored. Father Cogill will discuss the success and failures which South Africa experienced as it tried to find a balance between, truth, justice, and reconciliation as it attempted to heal from the deep trauma of Apartheid. Focusing on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Father Cogill will explore how Archbishop Desmond Tutu’s understanding of forgiveness impacted the direction of the Truth and Reconciliation process in its desire for a restorative rather than retributive justice.
