Exploring the complex intersection of forgiveness and political ethics, this book examines how nations can address historical injustices like genocide and apartheid. It advocates for a restorative justice approach, emphasizing truth commissions, public apologies, reparations, and ultimately forgiveness, as vital steps toward reconciliation. By analyzing case studies from Argentina, Chile, Northern Ireland, and South Africa, the author illustrates the potential and challenges of fostering forgiveness while maintaining accountability for past wrongs.
