This paper argues that restorative justice approaches such as truth and reconciliation commissions (TRCs) and peacemaking criminology could greatly enhance a country’s democratic practice paving the way for wider societal development. Drawing on the example of Ghana’s National Reconciliation Commission, the paper contends that the principles and practices of restorative justice and peacemaking criminology do not only enhance our understanding of the aims and significance of TRCs but also serve victims, the community, and perpetrators better than a criminal prosecution approach in a country’s effort to address post‐conflict justice. This provides an enabling environment for democracy to take root giving rise to political stability and societal development.

... Sementara mandat untuk masing-masing KKR terkait dengan kekhasan pelanggaran masa lalu di setiap konteks atau negara, KKR biasanya melibatkan penelitian dan pelaporan pelanggaran masing-masing, dan menawarkan forum bagi para korban, keluarga mereka dan para pelaku untuk berbagi akun pribadi mereka. Ada banyak beasiswa tentang apakah prinsip-prinsip keadilan restoratif saling melengkapi, dan tercermin dalam, masing-masing KKR nasional (lihat, misalnya, (Ame & Alidu, 2010) untuk analisis Komisi Rekonsiliasi Nasional Ghana; Gade, 2013, untuk diskusi tentang restoratif keadilan dan Komisi Kebenaran dan Rekonsiliasi Afrika Selatan; dan Graybill, 2017, untuk studi tentang dimensi keadilan restoratif dari KKR di Sierra Leone). Beasiswa semacam ini menggambarkan bahwa sementara keadilan restoratif dan KKR sama-sama mengejar hasil reparatif -seringkali berdasarkan prinsip relasional dan praktik yang memfasilitasi pertukaran jujur tentang kesalahan, kerugian, dan pentingnya penyembuhan -kompleksitas KKR berarti bahwa mereka, dalam baik teori dan praktik, sangat berbeda dari keadilan restoratif karena digunakan dalam masalah pidana. ...
