Summary

This quote explains the establishment of a commission, called the Truth and Friendship Commission, between two countries (presumably the speaker's country and Indonesia). The commission's main objective is to seek the truth about past events and promote friendship between the nations involved. However, this commission has faced criticism because its terms of reference offer amnesty to individuals who cooperate in revealing the truth. This means that, despite uncovering the truth, those involved will not face legal consequences or prosecution for their actions.

A bloody nose, bruises all over you, and naked. And it's the most beautiful thing.
