A long-standing dispute over whether a past state policy met the legal definition of genocide has led to the announcement of a new truth commission. Two separate expert reports reached opposing conclusions, leaving key questions unresolved and deepening divisions over accountability. The commission aims to provide a definitive assessment by reviewing evidence and testimonies, potentially shaping legal and historical understandings of the era. Its findings could influence reparations, memorialization efforts, and future discussions on justice for affected communities.
