perpetrators;
D. Recommendations concerning societal, legal and political factors contributing to the
nation’s vulnerability to human rights abuses;

reconciliation, help victims of human rights abuses and assist in the building of a strong,
stable and peaceful nation;
F. Recommendations concerning possible reparations for victims;
G. Other issues that may be requested by TRC or initiated by Minnesota Advocates.
15. Timeline The ability of Minnesota Advocates to adhere to any particular timeline will
depend in part on factors beyond its control, such as the availability of volunteered resources
and the ability of the LTRC to meet its own schedule and provide requested information
and feedback. It is currently contemplated that Minnesota Advocates will train its volunteer
statement takers through the fall of 2006, and will conduct a pilot program during that season,
in which a limited number of statements will be taken by members of the Pro Bono Advisory
Committee for purposes of trying out contemplated procedures.
It is expected that the full scale statement-taking program will begin in January of 2007, and
will continue through the end of June, 2007. It is expected that a first draft of the Project
Report will be provided for comment to the TRC by October 31, 2007, and that the final
Report will be submitted to the TRC, along with the statement data base, thereafter. All of
these deadlines are aspirational and subject to revision as necessary. Minnesota Advocates will
continue to communicate regularly with TRC concerning its progress in accomplishing its
tasks and its expectations for meeting the deadlines.
WHEREFORE, this Memorandum of Understanding is entered into effective this 17th day of
