New truth commission takes office
“A fundamental step toward promoting memory, truth, and justice in Bolivia and in the region”. This was how the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) responded to the inauguration last month of a new truth commission, tasked with investigating human rights violations that took place in Bolivia between 1964 and 1982, under successive military and authoritarian dictatorships. The establishment of the commission is in line with a new law (879) which was approved by the national bicameral legislature in December 2016. It has long been a demand of local and international human rights groups.
