105 cannot be subject to restrictions on accessibility.” The bill also encompasses a reduction on the periods of confidentiality of the documents. Said project was approved by the Chamber of Representatives and is being analyzed by the Senate. 292. The Court positively values the various initiatives of Brazil in its attempts to systematize and make public the documents related to the period of the military regime, including those related to the Guerrilha do Araguaia. In particular, on the collection and systematization of information on the Guerrilla, pursuant to the information of the State and the expert report of expert Antunes da Silva,391 under the framework of the Ordinary Action No. 82.00.24682-5, being processed by the First Federal Court of the Federal District, 21,319 pages of documents were presented, distributed in 426 tomes of evidence from the former National Information Service. Subsequently 28 tomes of documents were added that contain thematic information on the raid operations in the conflict zone. On February 3, 2010, approximately 50 million documents, of which 63 correspond to the Guerrilha do Araguaia, were received from the Regional Coordination Office of the body of information of the secret service of the Commander of the Air Force. Based on the aforementioned, the Court deems that it does not need to rule on an additional measure of reparation in this regard, notwithstanding that the State must continue to develop the initiatives for the systematization and publication of all the information on the Guerrilha do Araguaia, as well as the information related to the human rights violations which occurred during the military regime, guaranteeing access to this information. 293. On the other hand, in regard to the adaptation of the normative framework of access to information, the Court notes that the State reported that it is processing a draft bill that, among other reforms, proposes a reduction in the periods allowed for restricting access to documents and establishes the elimination of the same regarding those that are related to violations of human rights, to which the representatives expressed their approval. Based on the foregoing, the Court urges the State to adopt the legislative and administrative measures, and any other measures, that are necessary to strenghten the normative framework of access to information, pursuant to the Inter-American standards of protection on human rights, such as those indicated in the present Judgment (supra paras. 228 to 231). iv. Creation of a Truth Commission 294. The representatives requested the Court to order the State to create a Truth Commission that complies with the international parameters of autonomy, independence, and public consultation for its integration and that is equipped with appropriate resources and attributions. In regard to the Draft Bill that is currently in the Congress, they expressed their worry, among other aspects, because the seven members of the National Truth Commission are elected under the discretion of the President of the Republic, without consulting the public, and as such, without guarantees of independence and that allows for the participation of soldiers as commissioners, thereby severely affecting its credibility. 295. Brazil highlighted the future constitution of a National Truth Commission that would be composed of seven members, elected by the President of the Republic among Brazilians of distinguishable competence and ethical conduct, committed with the defense of democracy and the constitutional 391 Cf.
