Report of the National Commission on Truth and Reconciliation (Rettig Report)

The Rettig Report, officially known as the Report of the National Commission on Truth and Reconciliation, details human rights abuses committed in Chile between 1970 and 1973, especially during Pinochet's dictatorship. It documents cases of torture, disappearances, and killings, acknowledging the suffering of victims and their families. The report aims to promote truth, justice, and reconciliation by providing a comprehensive record of abuses, identifying responsible parties, and recommending measures to prevent future violations. It plays a crucial role in Chile’s efforts to acknowledge past injustices and foster national healing.
