About this title

Synopsis

This study analyzes the attempts by Chile and Uruguay to resolve the human rights violations conflicts inherited from military dictatorships. Alexandra de Brito sheds light on the political conditions which permitted--or prevented--the policies of truth-telling and justice under these successor regimes. She is the first to make comparative assessment of human rights abuse in Uruguay and Chile in this way and makes an original contribution to our understanding of the key political, legal, and moral issues involved.
