לב שִׂפְתֵי צַדִּיק, יֵדְעוּן רָצוֹן; וּפִי רְשָׁעִים, תַּהְפֻּכוֹת.
The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable; but the mouth of the wicked is all frowardness. (Proverbs 10:32)
What does this verse implies? According to the Vilna Gaon, you can implied the meaning of apology here. How many times have people been apologising but actually they do not mean it? That's a problem truly because these are those referred to as the wicked, whose mouths are filled with frowardness.
Those who are truly righteous will do what is acceptable, they apologise with their heart and the truly mean it.
So what we can do?
Easy, whenever we apologise, do it wholeheartedly. Ask yourself why have you wronged him/her. If you know what have you done, do not do it again and ask for an apology. If you incerely do not know why you have offended a person, ask him/her the reason why. If they are truly your friend, they will tell you.

For those who have apologize, we shall forgive. But if those who do not apologize or apologize with false lips, do we have the right to condemn them?
Shalom.
Well, we do have the right to condemn them but as long as someone apologise, whether it is deep heartedly or superficially, just accept it at first. This is what we can do. If they sinned again, then we just wait for their teshuvah.
