1975. 53 Since then, he has been living in the United Kingdom.

On April 18, 1978, the “Government Junta” presided by General Augusto Pinochet Ugarte “decide[d] to enact” Decree Law No. 2,191, “grant[ing] amnesty” to all those who, “as perpetrators, accomplices or accessories after the fact had been involved in criminal acts […] between September 11, 1973, and March 10, 1978, provided that [on April 18, 1978,] they were not being prosecuted or convicted.” 55 A.2.4) National Truth and Reconciliation Commission (Rettig Commission) 66. The State created the National Truth and Reconciliation Commission, also known as the “Rettig Commission,” by Supreme Decree No. 355 of April 25, 1990. Its main purpose was to assist in the overall clarification of the truth about the most gross human rights violations committed between September 11, 1973, and March 11, 1990. It examined disappearances, executions, and torture resulting in death, “in which the State’s moral responsibility was implicated owing to the acts of its agents or of individuals in its service, as well as kidnappings and attempts on people’s life committed by private individuals for political reasons.” Its mandate included: To establish the most complete picture possible of the heinous acts indicated above, their background and circumstances; to gather background information that allow the victims to be individualized and to establish their fate or whereabouts; to recommend the measures of reparation and rehabilitation that would ensure justice, and to recommend the legal and administrative measures that, in its opinion, should be adopted in order to prevent the perpetration of [such] acts. Regarding the measures of reparation, the Commission Rettig concluded that these should be “effective” and “seek social integration” as well as “tend to create conditions for reconciliation.” It recommended diverse measures, grouped in the following categories: “symbolic reparation and rehabilitation,” and those “of a legal and administrative nature,” including measures relating to “social welfare,” “health,” “education,” and “housing.” Some recommendations for measures of a “symbolic” or a “legal and administrative” nature, and for social welfare were classified as “more urgent.” 56 53 Cf.
