The Truth and Reconciliation Commission for Britain and Ireland (TRCBI) is to meet on 25 July 2009, at Quaker Meeting House, Frederick Street off York Street, Belfast.
With the peace process in Ireland having moved so far, it is the hope of this symposium to encourage a healthy debate between both Irish and British peace thinkers, activists and spiritual leaders, so as to vision together a long term peaceful future for both Britain and Ireland.
TRCBI will examine testimony concerning all aspects of the conflict in Ireland, and allow persons who have perpetrated acts of cruelty and injustice to come forward and apologise to those whom they have wronged, whether in Britain or in Ireland, and also to empower those working for peace and reconciliation to come forward and tell their own stories.
Dr. Thomas Daffern, a Governor of the Saor Ollscoil na h’Eireann and Director of the International Institute of Peace Studies and Global Philosophy (www.lulu.com/iipsgp) will chair the meeting.
