How can a non-governmental truth commission with no subpoena power uncover new information?

0

Many truth commissions have relied solely on volunteers to come forward with information, with impressive results. In Peru, a government-sponsored commission with no subpoena power has taken over 17,000 statements, from victims and others, including perpetrators. In Brazil and Guatemala, church-led truth-seeking processes were key in revealing a history of injustice and violence that the government was unwilling to disclose by itself. There is no reason why a community-based effort in Greensboro would not be able to make an important contribution in the same way.
