This report presents a study of ex-combatants' knowledge and opinions of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) and Special Court (SC) in Sierra Leone. Ex-combatants and these accountability institutions are interdependent. Ex-combatants need the TRC and SC to help them reintegrate and reconcile with their communities, and the TRC cannot fulfill its aims without the participation of ex-combatants. This report provides information that can help depict and shape this relationship in a way that best promotes reconciliation, justice, and peace.
