Issued by: Truth and Reconciliation Commission
5 May 1997
I welcome the reported indications from the National Party that they are willing to accept accountability for actions committed in the name of the former Government.
The Commission would welcome amnesty applications from leaders of the NP - as it would applications from leaders of all other political parties. However, political leaders will need to submit applications made out individually, including lists of the actions for which they would accept responsibility.
