Abstract

Chile is one of a handful of countries worldwide that has attempted significant, sustained domestic prosecution of past crimes against humanity and other massive human rights violations. This publication summarises the legal and political significance of 40 principal case verdicts and other milestones in Chile´s post-dictatorship transitional justice trajectory. Major Supreme and lower court verdicts, Inter-American Court jurisprudence, and other justice milestones occurring between 1990-2019 for atrocity crimes committed between 1973 and 1990 are described and analysed in detail, highlighting their significance for national and international criminal justice. The precise data supplied allows researchers to further locate the original case verdicts. This rolling publication is part of a decade-long, and ongoing, research effort to map and analyse all aspects of Chile's post-transitional justice trajectory.
