Twenty-seven years after the end of the military rule (1964-1985), the
Brazilian Congress passed legislation that established the Brazilian Truth
Commission. With no judicial power, the Commission�s mandate is to investigate
details of the circumstances under which serious human rights crimes were
committed during military rule in Brazil. However, contrary to the current
developments of the International Human Rights Law, a Brazilian Amnesty
Law, enacted in 1979 as a result of a delicate political compromise between
government and opposition to end the military rule, forbids that �political�
crimes committed at that time be investigated and taken to Court. Having
implemented a complex reparation�s program that benefited a large number
of victims and establishing the Truth Commission to help coming to terms
with the past, it is not clear, when the Commission concludes its work, what
may follow, because of failure to meet the justice requirement. That will very
much depend on Brazilian society�s reaction to what will be revealed. Both
indifference and outrage are possible outcomes. |
