The full National Party Submission to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, by Mr. F.W. de Klerk, Leader of the
National Party, 21 August 1996, Cape Town. 30 pages.

These materials document Mr. de Klerk's preparation for a rare public acknowledgment during the reconciliation process. As the last apartheid-era president and co-recipient of the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize with Nelson Mandela, his 1996 appearance remains a significant, if controversial, episode in transitional justice history. The TRC itself, established under the Promotion of National Unity and Reconciliation Act No. 34 of 1995, is widely regarded as a global model for post-conflict healing.
