International criminal justice and truth commissions have been on the rise for two decades. The initial opposition against these two mechanisms, illustrated by the peace-versus-justice debate, is largely over, due to a complementary approach that promotes the application of international trials and truth commissions simultaneously. Consequently, this collaborative model has become - and is likely to evolve to be even more - frequent; yet no agreed framework has emerged to regulate this model, despite several opportunities to develop one, through the experiences in different countries. This study addresses one such experience, namely, transitional justice in Sierra Leone, which embodied the interaction between the institutions of special court and truth commission on the ground.
