What did de Klerk oppose from Mandela's government?

  • Trade sanctions

  • Economic reform

  • Land distribution

  • Truth and Reconciliation Commission

Answer

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) was a body established by Nelson Mandela's government to address human rights abuses committed during apartheid. It aimed to promote reconciliation by granting amnesty to perpetrators who made full disclosure of their crimes and sought to repair the damage caused by apartheid. De Klerk opposed the TRC, arguing that it undermined the rule of law and allowed perpetrators to escape accountability without facing trial.
