truth

Truth refers to an accurate and honest account of events or experiences. In institutional contexts, truth involves acknowledging what occurred, recognising the impact of actions, and ensuring that accounts of events are not distorted or minimised. Establishing truth can be important in processes of investigation, accountability, and repair. When institutions fail to acknowledge truthfully what has occurred, trust can be eroded and harm may remain unresolved.
