Transitional justice commissions lobby for term extension as justice eludes victims

The term of the present set of commissioners ends in February but experts say without a political will to settle the tens of thousands of cases, there can be no progress.

The commissioners at the Commission of Investigation on Enforced Disappeared Persons and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, mandated to look into the conflict-era human rights cases, are already lobbying for the extension of their terms that end in three months.
