On May 4, Lobo came up with a remedy, launching a "Commission of Truth." Although truth commissions are usually conducted in post-conflict situationslike in El Salvador or South Africa in the 1990s- Honduras' is to take place during ongoing conflict. The commission's stated aims are to clarify what happened before, during and after the coup that removed [Manuel Zelaya] from power, and to produce recommendations so that last year's events will never be repeated.
