Special Report Transcript Episode 13, Section 5, Time 23:19

Some of the issues that we would argue that need to be addressed are identifying and documenting past abuses. We would also argue that the same processes that apply to the Truth Commission in general should also apply to the medical profession so we’ve seen that the many witnesses testifying at the Commission raising issues of medical complicity and we wouldn’t expect doctors to be exempt from the same processes that other people applying for amnesty to the Commission need to go through. So in a sense we would see a Truth Commission for doctors occupying a parallel process to the current Truth Commission, certainly with an emphasis on disclosure and documentation, but also having some form of Amnesty Committee in equivalent that would certainly send a very strong message to the profession that transgression of human rights, unethical abuses in that regard are not tolerated.
