was applied in relation to acts that were not related to the said protest; (b) other information refers to the proceedings instituted by the Ministry of the Interior and Public Security from 2005 to June 2012 (without specifying whether this refers to those instituted throughout Chile), from which it is possible to determine in how many the Counter-terrorism Act was cited and also to note that it appeared to have been cited for facts that prima facie – based on the description in the document – would have no relation to the context of the Mapuche social protest,235 and (c) other information consists in tables relating to the investigations conducted by the Public Prosecution Service for offenses established in the Counter-terrorism Act between 2000 and July 2013236 and between 2000 and April 2013237 that – contrary to the two documents mentioned above include information on the status or result of the proceedings, but do not disaggregate the information by ethnic origin.238 Also, with regard to the geographical areas that the evidence refers to, some of it covers data only from the Region of Araucanía,239 without comparing it with references to and application of the Counter-terrorism Act in the rest of the country; some of it covers the whole of the State of Chile without disaggregating the information by ethnic origin,240 and some of it does not mention the geographical area covered.241 These same differences with regard to the use of statistics are present in the reports of the Special Rapporteurs and of the international human rights bodies. 217. Nevertheless, the Court pays particular attention to the information contained in the “comments of the State of Chile on the report of the visit of the Special Rapporteur” for promotion and protection of human rights while countering terrorism,242 according to which, between 2000 and 2013 “the Public Prosecution Service had conducted a total of 19 proceedings under the Counter-terrorism Act, 12 of which related to land claims by Mapuche groups.”243 235 The document was provided by the State indicating that it was a “List of proceedings in which the Counterterrorism Act has been cited” (file of annexes to the answering brief, annex 8, folios 180 to 190). 236 Document offered by the State as a “List with a historical record of [investigations] instituted under the Counterterrorism Act between 2000 and 2013 throughout Chile (Source: Public Prosecution Service).” The table provided does not have a heading (file of helpful evidence presented by the State, folios 52 to 55). The Court has noted the assertion made by the FIDH in its observations on this evidence presented by Chile that the information provided in this document is incomplete, because, among other matters, it does not contain information on the proceedings held against Victor Manuel Ancalaf Llaupe. 237 Cf. document forwarded by the Public Prosecution Service in answer to the request for access to public information made by the representative Sergio Fuenzalida on April 8, 2013 (annex provided by CEJIL with its final arguments). 238 In this regard, see footnote 243. 239 The State provided this document indicating that it is a “Document with information on the investigations in the Region of Araucanía (Source: Public Prosecution Service)” (file of helpful evidence presented by the State, folios 56 to 60). 240 Document provided by the State indicating that it was a “List with a historical record of proceedings instituted under the Counter-terrorism Act between 2000 and 2013 throughout Chile.” The table provided does not have a heading (file of helpful evidence presented by the State, folios 52 to 55). 241 The document was provided by the State indicating that it was a “List of proceedings in which the Counterterrorism Act has been used” (file of annexes to the answering brief, annex 8, folios 180 to 190). 242 Cf.

Addendum, Mission to Chile, para. 12. 243 This statistic is similar to the information provided by the parties in these proceedings: a) The document forwarded by the Public Prosecution Service in response to the request for access to public information made by the representative Sergio Fuenzalida on April 8, 2013 (annex provided by CEJIL with its final arguments), which consists in a table with information on a total of 21 proceedings instituted by the Public Prosecution Service in which the Counter-terrorism Act was used between 2000 and April 2013 throughout Chile.
