The document discusses the challenges of reconciliation in post-conflict societies and some key aspects of the reconciliation process. It notes that reconciliation aims to re-establish relationships between divided groups, address casualties and human rights violations from the conflict, and prevent future conflicts. Reconciliation is defined as building new relationships and trust between rival groups. Truth commissions have been established to investigate the truth of past conflicts and make recommendations to further the reconciliation process. Examples discussed include South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission and Sri Lanka's Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission. The conclusion emphasizes that reconciliation must be implemented independently to sustainably achieve peace and harmony in divided societies.
