Este lunes 23 de agosto se dio inicio a la semana conmemorativa por los siete años de uno de los momentos más importantes de la reinstauración de la democracia en el Perú, la entrega del Informe Final de la Comisión de la Verdad y Reconciliación (el Informe). Más allá de las merecidas celebraciones conmemorativas, desde Justicia Viva, cada año se plantea una reflexión no solo sobre el hecho mismo de la entrega, sino sobre el necesario balance que nos plantea Report as a benchmark upon which to measure: reconciliation, meant to address the serious events that led to the same, and the level of democracy and respect for human rights in our country, after the period of dictatorship 90.
In that sense, there are advances that can not be ignored, but since the report were given (and especially during the last government), the setbacks have been many and marked. The first point that highlights this analysis is the prosecution of serious human rights violations during the violence, namely "justice" and "truth" themselves. This point is at a critical time [1], from 2006 to date, the National Criminal Court (SPN) has delivered 19 judgments in relation to cases of human rights violations (most reported in the Report), acquitting 80% of the accused (Los Laureles, Marco Barrantes, among other cases) [2].
This has built a case that threatens efforts to bring to justice those cases, and favors impunity (especially in terms of "forced disappearance", the law has changed to the detriment justice) are dismissed are not direct evidence, which directly affects the responsibility of military commanders, seeking the facts do not qualify as crimes against humanity in spite of the systematic nature of the acts perpetrated by the State, etc. In addition there are pending cases, which promptly responds in part to the lack of cooperation from the Ministry of Defence, to provide information, such as in the case Putis.
Regarding the "reconciliation", unfortunately the prospects have not been shown encouraging, the recent release and re imprisonment of Lori Berenson (sentenced to 20 years, 15 of whom would have been at the time to claim the benefit of the semi-free) has shown that the wounds are still open. Likewise, attacks and threats to Salomon Lerner, president of the Commission of Truth and Reconciliation Commission, at the end of last year. More specifically, these perspectives were tested with the closure of Reparations Council also late last year due to lack of budget allocated by the state for the institution, which was a blow to the thousands of victims of violence, most in poverty. It is difficult to see national reconciliation, regardless of the repair to the suffering of victims of violent period.
also the many social conflicts (resulting from infringement of rights of vulnerable people, including indigenous people), whose mismanagement and disregard for the better, by the State, was tragically demonstrated on 5 June Bagua last year, whose anniversary was commemorated by the President governs the "day of Peruvian rum." Thus, victims of Bagua, were part of more than a hundred civilian deaths liability of the state during the current government until December 2009.
No doubt there is a before and after Report, however, the path is being forged in the protection of fundamental rights and democratic institutions (in the last government in particular) indicates that the momentum created by it has not been properly taken on the road. State acts as the establishment of the Multisectoral Technical Commission in July this year, which is responsible for planning mechanisms and procedures for the delivery of individual reparations, seem to be made redeemable but isolated in a trend opposite of that State.
However this scenario, coordinated work of different institutions civil society and especially the period of violence victims and their families, has allowed the momentum of the Report is not lost. We develop a work by searching for "truth" and "justice" through the continued prosecution and defense cases, and "reconciliation" through campaigns to sensitize the population and promote knowledge of the report as a crucial tool in our history. The commemorative events this week, are part of this work that you all are called to share, and which have a responsibility. May not have been seven years of truth and reconciliation that we yearned, but certainly have been the unwavering struggle to get it. ----------------------------------------------
