真相委员会的变革承诺将参与等同于代理。本文从经验上加深了对过渡时期司法中的地方机构的理解，通过解开前战斗人员被沉默的方式，并选择沉默，塞拉利昂的真相与和解委员会（TRC）。从外部强迫保持沉默的情况可以看出，前战斗人员在真相与和解委员会内部所经历的代理权被窃取的情况。对前战斗人员选择的真相与和解委员会沉默的研究，暴露了这一群体使用沉默的力量，并动摇了将参与等同于力量的假设。
The transformative promises of truth commissions equate participation with agency. This article empirically thickens understandings of local agency within transitional justice by disentangling the ways in which ex-combatants were silenced by, and chose silence within, Sierra Leone’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). Illuminating externally enforced silences reveals the theft of agency experienced by ex-combatants within the TRC. Examining TRC silences chosen by ex-combatants exposes the agency of silences deployed by this population and unsettles assumptions that equate participation with agency.
