Since then, peace and a return to democracy have allowed it to embark on transitional justice. This has meant a Truth and Reconciliation Commission, prosecutions, and reparations. It has also meant controversy over the rights of those accused of terrorism and the legacies of military impunity. This book examines Peru's struggle to restore human rights accountability and the political factors that have shaped its fate Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version Subject Peru.
