This insightful new work analyses the attempts by Chile and Uruguay
to resolve the human rights violations conflicts inherited from
military dictatorships. The author focuses on how the
post-transitional democratic governments dealt with demmands for
official recognition of the truth about the human rights violations
committed by the military regimes and for punishment of those
guilty of committing or ordering those offences. Alexandra DeBrito
sheds light on the political conditions which permitted - or
prevented - the politics of truth-telling and justice under these
successor regimes. This is the first study to make comparative
assessment of human rights abuse in Uruguay and Chile in this way.
The author contends that the experiences of these countries offer
formative examples of attempts to tackle fundamental aspects of the
policies of transition and democratization. She makes an original
contribution to our understanding of the key political, legal, and
moral issues involved.
