Pillar Three

The Power of Truth

Truth is essential for national reconciliation. Without an honest acknowledgment of history and the experiences of Bhutanese refugees, meaningful dialogue and lasting peace remain elusive.

Through rigorous research, documentation, and the production of credible publications, the Foundation works to establish an evidence-based foundation for policy discussions and reconciliation efforts.

“Truth is essential for national reconciliation, dialogue, and constructive diplomacy. Without truth, there can be no lasting peace.”

— Dr. D. N. S. Dhakal, Founder
