Abstract
Chapter 4 looks at the effects of Mega Cause I beyond justice on concepts important during transitional justice: truth, memory, and reconciliation. Truth was uncovered during Mega Cause I through the investigation phase, the testimonies, and, indirectly, through the defendants. Memory was re-constructed during the trial. This was especially important to educate the younger generations and to ensure that state terrorism was not repeated. According to my interviewees, Mega Cause I did not lead to reconciliation. Reconciliation was neither the goal nor within the jurisdiction of the trial.
