| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The article begins with a profile of the Ivorian civil war which remains at management
stage pending the result of a successful democratic election to seal the various agreements
signed between the government and the rebel parties. Taking examples from West Africa,
a case is presented for constituting and pursuing a reconciliatory process that deals with
the hurts and harms arising from human right abuse and extra-judicial killings by both
the state army and rebel forces. Reconciliation processes in Latin America and sub-
Saharan Africa are examined and a truth and reconciliation commission is proposed for
Côte d'Ivoire. |
