In the reparations agreement, the State undertook “to continue promoting the approval of the Law [for the creation of the National Commission for the Search for Victims of Forced Disappearance and other Forms of Disappearance].” It also indicated that “the President of the Republic, as head of the Executive and representative of national unity, undertakes to request the Legislature, with full respect for the separation of powers, to approve the said law.” 221.
