"The ANC wishes (to find) lasting solutions" said party spokesman Smuts Ngonyama in a statement in Johannesburg.
"It is not in the interests of the country that we run anything akin to Nuremberg-type trials".
He said the ANC wanted to discuss the TRC report with all concerned.
Ngonyama was responding to concerns expressed to his party by the New National Party.
The NNP had said outstanding matters from the TRC report could end up dividing the nation by resulting in a spate of Nuremberg-type trials.
The Nuremberg Trials occurred at the end of the Second world war, when Nazi war criminals were brought before an international tribunal. The trials were the first of their kind, and provoked much debate.
Many criticised them for retroactively criminalising actions that had been legal, even required under orders, at the time they occurred.
The principals of Nuremberg were cited by US attorney Michael Hausfeld last year, when he lodged the so-called apartheid lawsuit against multinational companies which did business in apartheid South Africa - Sapa.
