Comisión de la Verdad

The Comisión de la Verdad, or Truth Commission, is an independent body established to investigate serious human rights violations, such as violence or injustices, committed during a specific period or conflict. Its goal is to uncover facts, acknowledge victims’ suffering, and promote justice and reconciliation. It gathers testimonies, reviews evidence, and publishes reports to ensure a transparent account of past abuses. While it doesn't deliver legal verdicts, its findings support national healing, help prevent future violations, and foster accountability by providing official acknowledgment of the truth.
