Special Report Transcript Episode 75, Section 5, Time 51:57

There are no just or wrong wars, but there are just or wrong causes and then there are the means used to struggle for this cause, as my colleague was pointing out, and there is according to me always individuals’ personal responsibility and morality. Morality and not politics have taught us during our often brutish century that sometimes it is a sin to obey; to obey orders does not discharge the individual from his moral responsibility. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission to me is a unique opportunity to define what was just and what was not and in South Africa the Commission generously gives to the individual the chance to come to terms with his doubts and if individuals don’t use this chance I do think that they should face prosecution as they would have to do at an international criminal tribunal.
