Archbishop Desmond Tutu: ‘Our country did not go the way of Nuremberg, to bring the perpetrators

of such crimes to trial…Our country rejected the other extreme of a blanket amnesty, as

happened in General Augusto Pinochet’s Chile….

Our country chose a middle way of individual amnesty for truth. Some

would say, what about justice? And we say retributive justice is not the

only kind of justice. There is also restorative justice, because we believe

in Ubuntu — the essence of being human, that idea that we are all

caught up in a delicate network of interdependence. We say, “A person

is a person through other persons.” I need you in order to be me and

you need me in order to be you.’ [via iBoy]
