following south africa's truth and reconciliation commission, many more truth commissions have been created and continue to be created. these include repeat commissions in some countries where the first commission was constrained and new governments felt it had not carried out a full accounting for the past. it has become a model for other countries. commissions have been widespread in the aftermath of conflict as components of peace agreements in africa since the 1990. for example, congo and sierra leone have used truth commissions.chile's commission for truth and reconciliation was followed by a commission on political imprisonment and torture in 2003. approximately 3,000 people died or went missing during the years of augusto pinochet's rule. pinochet's successor created the first commission in 1990. the nepalese truth commission was followed by a new commission in 2014; and there have been calls for a new truth commission to supplement the panama truth commission established in 2000.
