A spokesman for the Solomon Islands Civil Society Network, Matthew Wale, says the planned Truth and Reconciliation Commission will be focussed on national unity and healing the community.
The Government at the weekend announced it would set up the Commission, which has been promoted by church and civilian groups.
Mr Wale says, as proposed, the Commission would have judicial powers, but the focus would be on bringing closure to the victims.
He says in many cases concerning crimes committed at the height of the crisis, there is little evidence, so going through a normal court process would be difficult.
Mr Wale height of the crisis, there is little evidence that could be presented in a normal court, so the Commission provides another avenue to look at these crimes.
"But from the perspective of the victim, so the victim would come, would file a complaint, that complaint would be assessed. If it bears truthfully, then they would be given an opportunity for a hearing. Obviously, the person who is implicated would be given the opportunity to answer for themselves and so forth."
