Abstract

LAPLANTE, Lisa. Después de la verdad:: demandas para reparaciones en el Perú postcomisión de la verdad y reconciliación. Antipod. Rev. Antropol. Arqueol. [online]. 2007, n.4, pp.119-146. ISSN 1900-5407.

This article argues that reparations also play a critical role. The author share her observations of how government agencies, nongovernmental organizations -NGO'S- civil society sectors and victimsurvivor's associations struggle over reparations in post truth commission Peru, offering a preliminary analysis of key theoretical suppositions about transitional justice. She explores whether the act of telling the truth to an official body is something that helps or hinders a victimsurvivor in his or her own recovery process, and whether in giving testimonies victimsurvivors place particular demands upon the state. The author concludes that while testimony giving may possibly have temporary cathartic effects, it must be followed by concrete actions.

Keywords : Truth Commissions; PostConflict; Transitional Justice; Peru.
