My thesis examines the evolution of the enabling legislation to the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), the Promotion of National Unity and Reconciliation Act (34) 1995, through the historical, legal, philosophical and ideological issues that underpinned the Act. Transitional justice is an interregnum characteristic and comprises both accountability and the establishment of a moral society. Historically, the South African government's principal adversary, the African National Congress (ANC) advocated a just, multi-racial and equitable society through leaders such as Pixley ka Isaka Seme, Professor Z.K. Matthews and Chief Albert Luthuli. ANC leaders from 191 2-1 960 were mission educated and regarded segregation as the antithesis of their strong Christian principles and in opposition to Gospel values. They advocated the reformation of South African society through passive resistance and the attainment of the franchise. After the 1960 Sharpeville massacre and the entrenchment of "grand apartheid", the ANC adopted the armed struggle while the state committed numerous gross human rights violations to maintain apartheid. While exiled, the ANC established its just war claims with a meritorious cause, its jus ad bellum. By 1990 a settlement was negotiated between the principal adversaries. The interregnum was characterised by violence, commissions of inquiry and various requests for indemnification/amnesty. The ANC's just war claims were eroded with allegations of atrocities in its military camps that severely undermined its claims to the moral high-ground. Its poor conduct of the armed struggle, its jus in bello, was confirmed in various subsequent reports. The ANC's decisive election victory of April 1994 provided the Congress with an opportunity to structure transitional justice through the enabling legislation to the TRC on its own terms and prove through the self-incriminating evidence that emerged at the TRC hearings that apartheid was a crime against humanity and that the armed struggle was a just war with a meritorious jus ad bellum.

Simulated, 3D gaming environments have been used for a wide-range of applications including training, entertainment, and experimentation in an assortment of domains for some time. This can be attributed to their unique ability to emulate multifaceted situations that may be difficult to control, while affording participants the opportunity to operate in a relatively safe environment. In cybersecurity research, investigation of insider threat behavior is an endeavor that has received little attention in terms of available environments and resources for experimental manipulation. This research effort aimed to close this gap. A simulated, 3D gaming environment and accompanying scenarios were developed for utilization as a research application for a verification study. These constitute crucial components for proper development of insider threat detection tools and training applications. The aim was to use knowledge of performance, user stress state, and user perceptions of the simulation's graphic and usability qualities to verify the simulation for use in insider threat detection work. The objective of this simulated, 3D gaming environment and scenarios was to serve as a realistic and valid context for the development of insider threat identification methods. The scenario narrative involved a reenactment of computer system exploitation by an employee who is trying to acquire private financial information without authorization. In each scenario, the participant assumed the role of a financial investigator employed at a large financial institution. There were two conditions associated with this verification study (control and insider threat). Participants in the control condition performed all of their tasking as regular bank employees while participants assigned to the insider threat condition had to carry out a portion of their tasking as an insider threat. Findings indicated that participants found the simulated, 3D gaming environment engaging, and the simulations graphics usable and immersive. Additionally, the role manipulation resulted in a significant difference in the time it took to perform critical tasking (tasking that was illicit in the insider threat condition). Role manipulation did not produce significant differences in stress between conditions, but it was influential regarding the perceptions of the stress sources. The results suggest that this simulated, 3D gaming environment meets the needs of insider threat investigation and can be used to advance understanding of the nature of insider threat behavior.
