Después de la verdad: demandas para reparaciones en el Perú post-Comisión de la Verdad y Reconciliación

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 victim-survivor'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 victim-survivor in his or her own recovery process, and whether in giving testimonies victim-survivors 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.
