The Meaning of This Quote

This quote refers to an agreement between East Timor and Indonesia to set up a joint Truth and Friendship Commission. The purpose of this Commission is to investigate the events that occurred between East Timor and Indonesia in the past and to provide a more accurate understanding of what happened. The Commission is intended to be a way to get justice for the people of East Timor, but it is not a way to prosecute those responsible for any crimes that were committed. Instead, the Commission offers amnesty to those who cooperate and tell the truth. In other words, those who provide information to the Commission will not face legal consequences. This has been criticized by some people, as they feel it is not a just way to get justice.
