The Centre organised a major seminar on Truth and Reconciliation - the South African Experience at the Holiday Inn Hotel which was attended by over two hundred persons including members of the Diplomatic Corps, Military Forces, Police and the general public.
The South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission has great relevance to Sri Lanka and the current peace process. A very useful discussion followed the presentation. The main speakers, who came to Sri Lanka especially to address the seminar were Professor Winston Nagan, who has direct experience of the South African Commission and Dr. Arthur Eyffinger, the eminent legal historian from Holland, who gave a historical panorama of peace and reconciliation down the ages.
