Hatun Willakuy: Abbreviated Version of the Final Report of the Peruvian Truth and Reconciliation Commission

The 10-year anniversary edition of Hatun Willakuy, presented here, summarizes the results of Peru’s two-year inquiry that mobilized over 400 experts and researchers across the country, investigating crimes and human rights violations committed during a 20-year internal armed conflict (1980-2000) — as well as the underlying causes and enduring consequences of that violence. Gathering nearly 17,000 testimonies from people who had suffered or witnessed human rights violations, the commission worked to recover that terrible history by listening to the victims who, during those years, had never had a chance to be heard or to demand their rights.
