Descriptive Statistics From Statements to the Liberian Truth and Reconciliation Commission

The files linked on this page contain the data used in the calculations presented in Benetech's report to the Liberian Truth and Reconciliation Commission entitled "Descriptive Statistics From Statements to the Liberian Truth and Reconciliation Commission." In accordance with Benetech's Memorandum of Understanding with the TRC, these data are published on the Internet so that others can use the material to replicate our findings and continue research on past human rights violations in Liberia. In order to protect the privacy of the people who suffered, the information in the files below contains no personal identifying information about the victims or witnesses of the violations. As noted in the report, these violations were reported in statements given to the TRC. There is no way to know if the violations in this dataset are statistically representative of the patterns of all violations that occurred in Liberia during the conflict.
