Abstract

In the recent years, seemingly, the role of TRUTH COMMISSIONs has been increased in terms of considering and announcing the MILITARY CRIMEs and POLITICAL VIOLENCE as well as the active roles of them for decreasing the inappropriate consequences of these kind of crimes and violence. The commissions have been considered by theorists as CONFLICT RESOLUTION agencies. In the past, these commissions had Of law enforcement in direction of “Forensic Truth”. In other words, these commissions brought information together about violators and criminals then reported them to related authority. Recently, however, some of these commissions have considered other respects of MILITARY CRIMEs and POLITICAL VIOLENCE. A part of these commissions has focused on “Narrative Truth”. These commissions have attempted to involve the both parties in Truth-discovery process in order to decrease the improper psychological consequences of crimes and violence. Another part of these commissions has concentrated on .”Reconciliation Truth” and tried to perform eco-psychic REPARATION and REHABILITATION of both parties. These commissions also have endeavored to provide the conditions of interaction and reconciliation between the parties. This new perspective, had considerable achievements for CONFLICT RESOLUTION. But, if TRUTH COMMISSIONs are going to act as a CONFLICT RESOLUTION agency, especially if the goal of these Commissions to be stabilizing reconciliation and to prevent next conflicts; it is necessary to consider another aspect of Truth we call in this article as “Pathologic Truth”. This aspect of Truth has been referred to causes of the conflicts, violence and crimes in the considered societies. Through this approach, TRUTH COMMISSIONs should try to contemplating defective socio- political structures and processes, also to propose some suggestions for reforming these structures and processes. These commissions can be described as a “Transitional Agency”, which helps to transform from “conflict situation” to “post- conflict situation” in turmoil societies.
