520	1		_a"The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (1995-2001) was the archetypal transitional statutory body created to promote a 'culture of human rights' in South Africa. It was a key mechanism to promote the new constitutionalist political order and the reformulation of justice in human rights talk as restorative justice." (13) The TRC was about building a new collective memory where "[b]eing authentically South African comes to mean sharing the traumas of apartheid and uniting in the subsequent process of 'healing the nation'." (14) The nation is analogized to the human body thereby bringing individuals into the collective cleansing. He argues that because the truth commission substituted for prosecution, by granting amnesty, the resulting impunity actually leads to the subversion of the rule of law.
