On RECOM, Professor Colleen Murphy shares her perspective on what political reconciliation is specifically after the Karadzic Trial. 

"Political trust is absent following war and repression. Deep distrust is the most typical and, indeed, reasonable attitude to adopt. In the midst of war, a presumptive lack of ill will can make one vulnerable to being killed. This is especially so when conflict is characterized by ethnic cleansing and genocide, as was the case in the Bosnian War. One of the central aims of processes of political reconciliation is to establish conditions where it becomes reasonable to presume the at least basic decency and competence of officials and citizens, and to expect that officials and citizens will prove trust-responsive."

RECOM is a regional commission for the establishment of facts about war crimes and other serious violations of human rights.
