Abstract | Full Text: PDF (Size: 74K) | Related Articles | Citation Tracking  Civil Society Promotion of Truth, Justice, and Reconciliation in Chile: Villa Grimaldi Copyright © 2005 Peace History Society and Peace and Justice Studies Association ABSTRACTThe purpose of this article is to explore a civil society initiative that seeks to promote truth, justice, and reconciliation in the post-transitional society of Chile. The article will describe the role of civil society in promoting a site of memory on Villa Grimaldi, a former torture center in Santiago, Chile. The site of memory demonstrates the role that a nongovernmental organization (NGO) actor can play in complementing and in extending the work of a formal transitional justice process (i.e., a truth and reconciliation commission) in promoting truth about a past period of human rights abuses and promoting a sense of justice and reconciliation, particularly for survivors of the abuses. The case also outlines many of the relative advantages and disadvantages of civil society involvement in such initiatives. |
