PUBLICATION GUIDELINES:
We ask contributors to submit two (2) typed copies, following the format (on such
issues as references and notes) of articles in this issue of TRANSFORMA TION. Whilst
the journal will cater for work at any level of abstraction, or detail, a number of criteria
will guide the editors in selection of material for inclusion. Articles should aim for
academic rigour but also clarify the political implications of the issues discussed. We
are concerned not to compete with other South African journals that may cover related
ground but in different ways - this will govern our selection principles. All articles will
be assessed anonymously by the referees. Contributions should preferably not exceed
the following lengths:
         Analytical articles: 8 000 words
         Debates, comment and review articles: 3 000 words

'Justwar' and' Justmeans': was the TRC wrong about the               9
ANC?
       Janet Cherry, a member of the TRC's Research Depart-
       ment, takes a second look at the TRC's findings on the
       ANC and concludes they were morally and legally sound.
"They should have destroyed more': the destruction of               29
public records by the South African state in the final years
of apartheid, 1990-94
        Verne Harris analyses the systematic, and probably,
       illegal destruction of state records by the outgoing
       National Party government as a large-scale sanitisation
       of its memory resources, an attempt at a state-imposed
       amnesia.
Truth and Reconciliation Commission of South Africa                 57
Report
       Stephen Ellis reviews the TRC's final report and deems
       it both a balanced account of at least certain categories of
       human rights abuse and as a major historical document.

Truth, Telling, Questioning: the Truth and Reconciliation       73
Commission, Antjie Krog's Country of My Skull, and
literature after apartheid
       Mark Sanders analyses Antjie Krog's major work on the
       TRC, which he regards as part reportage, part memoir
       and part metafiction which can be read as a supplement
       to the report.
Commentary
International Humanitarian Law, Mengistu Haile Mariam          92
and South Africa's Missed Opportunity
       John Daniel comments on Human Sights Watch's
       attempts to persuade the South African government to
       arrest former Ethiopian dictator Mengistu Haile Mariam
       during his 1999 stay in South Africa and criticises the
       government for missing a chance to advance the
       development of international law.
