Habeas Corpus by Type

From 1979, the records for the writs are sub-divided according to the purpose and type. The second figure in each column corresponds to the number of individuals cited in the writs.

In November 1983 a mass writ for 3549 exiles was presented. The purpose of this type of writ was to contest the validity of the degree laws concerning exiles (Nos 81 and 604).

The writs for those arrested were submitted to prevent or curtail their subsequent disappearance. Preventive writs were seen to help those harassed or threatened by arrest.

Total Numbers attended at 444 Plaza de Armas

The porters took preliminary notes of all those seeking help or advice at the Vicaria's doors until 1986, when the practice was dropped. Those requiring further assistance were passed to reception. Numbers passed to reception essentially means those given legal advice or some form of material assistance, including, for example, meals when they were waiting to be seen.

Total number of files of cases in the legal department, June 1990 came to 43 404. In addition, the documentation department kept many thousands of press cut­

tings and other publications which were also lent out in their thousands over the years. For example, in 1988, 47 839 press cuttings were lent out, along with 2048 periodic publications (the Vicaria own monthly human rights reports and others), 1588 other documents and 260 books.

THE ZONES DEPARTMENT

From 1983, after the decentralisation of the department, the records were kept in a different form. The statistics below follow those different styles of record keeping. The figures are global, for all the different zones, but they are partial figures, depending on the consistent figures available.

In 1987 there was considerable participation in coordinating committees in the South Zone. The large figure, however, suggests a different means of measuring membership in that zone, corrected for the following year. The encouragement of these coordinating committees also reflected the Vicaria's growing wish to have the organisations become more independent. From that time, too, the proportion of each organisations donations from the Vicaria also began to diminish as they looked to other non-governmental organisation and became better able to broaden their own resource base.

Notes and References

Introduction

1. Although the Spanish word will be used throughout, the convention to itali­cise it is not observed. The reason, in both cases, is purely aesthetic.

2. The military's contempt for politicians was a common refrain in many of the declarations of the junta, and is amply demonstrated in Pinochet's writ­ings; for example, Pinochet (1983). For their part, the newly dominant groups in the political right at the time shared the military's authoritarianism and accepted military rule for that reason, a position evidenced by the fact that the National Party willingly accepted the political recess.

3. The left's position, of course, was to evolve considerably during the period of authoritarian rule, ending in a majority position of social democratic prin­ciples. By the same token, their ideology retained an important moral com­ponent.

4. Smith (1982) provides detailed view of the political preferences of the Chilean Catholic faithful and clergy at that time, and further consideration of the issue follows in the next chapter. Essentially, though, and notwith­standing the full range of preferences, Christian Democratic principles may be considered as being most akin to those of the majority of the clergy and particularly the hierarchy; more right-wing views retained an important fol­lowing in the laity. Smith also offers a more elaborate and sophisticated analysis of some of the issues involved in considering the priorities and complexities of the Church. See, especially, pp. 16-64. Indeed, it should be noted that this study owes much to Smith's previous work, and, while it also has its own agenda and perspective, is partially intended to be carried forward and related to much of his analysis.

5. The organisation of the Catholic Church dictates that the principal prelate of any diocese has pastoral jurisdiction over that diocese and no other, regard­less of whether he is also the primate in the country. The Vicaria, therefore, was an organisation unique to Santiago, and not a national ecclesial agent. There were 'sister Vicarias' in many other dioceses, as will be further dis­cussed, but this basic organisational framework should be understood, since it is also the reason why this study is more or less solely concerned with Santiago. Such a centralised perspective may, however, be at least partially justified by the fact that Chile itself is a highly centralised country, in which events and directions from Santiago have immediate, national significance.

6. The Vicaria's finances became a sensitive issue due to its political promi­nence, and so its staff were unwilling to provide exact figures.

166 Notes and References

9. I am thinking of Rouquie's assertion that: 'In the Latin American normative and cultural context, those who hold military power know that, whatever they say, there still exists above them a superior legitimacy, that of constitu­tional order. Not only can they not claim its support, but they must also ulti­mately pay lip service to it': 'Demilitarization', p. 110.

10. An argument developed particularly, although by no means exclusively, in the writings of Garreton (1987, 1989). See, too, Valenzuela (1978).

11. As Angell notes: 'One of the most striking features of current political dis­cussion in Chile is how little real debate there is about economic alterna­tives': Angell (1993), p. 3.

12. I am thinking, that is, of the classic, Gramscian notion of hegemony, one partial definition of which is: 'a combination of force and consent which form variable equilibria, without force ever prevailing too much over consent': Lettere del Carcere (Turin, Einardi, 1965), pp. 169-70, cited by Anderson (1976-77). See also Williams (1960) for more on Gramscian hegemony. That is in contrast with Dahl's narrower definition of hege­monies as 'regimes that impose the most severe limits on the opportunities available to opponents of the government': Dahl (1973), p. 11. See also Dahl(1971, 1982).

13. For the legal opposition under military rule in Brazil see Kinzo (1988). For the overall process in Brazil, Stepan (1973, 1988); Skidmore (1988).

14. One good, succinct discussion of the question of exclusionary versus inclu-sionary authoritarian rule, is Remmer (1989), particularly Ch. 1. See also Linz(1975).

15. Garreton (1987), p. 155. 16. The reasons of the different countries of the region for adopting the Chilean

model do not, of course, have solely to do with any intrinsic, nationally per­ceived benefits in so doing. They also have much to do with the increased leverage of the international financial institutions in the wake of the debt crisis, as well as the ever growing globalisation of the international economy. These matters, however, are clearly beyond the scope of this study.

1 The Catholic Church and Human Rights

1. See, for example, Finnis (1980). He notes (p. 214): 'What the reference to rights contributes in [the Universal Declaration] is simply a pointed expres­sion of what is implicit in the term 'common good', namely that each and everyone's well-being ... must be considered and favoured at all times by those responsible for coordinating the common life. Thus, ... there is no room left for an appeal against the 'exercise' of these to the 'general welfare'.

2. For a comparative perspective on different religions' views of human rights, see Rouner (1988).

3. Kting and Moltmann (1990), p. vii. 4. Mgr Roncalli, later John XXIII, was nuncio in Paris at the time of the draft­

ing of the Universal Declaration, and took an active part in collaborating with the French delegation.

Notes and References 167

6. Puebla, Final Document No. 146. On the other hand, one observer at Puebla (and later a determined critic of the new Vatican line) describes the pope's inaugural speech as 'a thorough-going onslaught on the main tenets of liber­ation theology, which were caricatured in the process': Peter Hebblethwaite, 'The Vatican's Latin American Policy', p. 59, in Keogh (1990), pp. 49-64.

7. Implicit, but not elaborated upon here, is the understanding that, as a complex and international institution, the Catholic Church in its national dimensions is affected by a whole amalgam of factors beyond already com­plicated international ones. The doctrinal positions emanating from the Holy See are extremely important, although not necessarily always determinant; of at least as much importance is the particular concern of the pope for any national case (and the effectiveness of his nuncio); influential, too, are the 'demonstration effects' of other national Churches. This is my own observa­tion on the basis of this study. For general reviews of the functioning of the Church see Smith (1982), Chapter 2, and Hanson (1987).

8. One case in point being Huntington (1991). He observes, for example (p. 85): 'Catholicism was second only to economic development as a perva­sive force force making for democratization in the 1970s and 1980s. The logo of the third wave could well be a crucifix superimposed on a dollar sign.'

9. Hermet (1973). Although the article is dated in terms of the cases it studies, the theoretical framework remains useful. He noted three conditions neces­sary for the Church to play a tribunicial role: its own legitimacy in society; a degree of calculated toleration of its activities by the regime and, as a corol­lary, the regime's own confidence that it will not be seriously challenged by such limited opposition.

10. For analysis of these changes in the Spanish Church, see Lannon (1987). 11. The joint assembly also made a majority declaration (albeit not formally

accepted by the requisite two-thirds) saying 'we humbly recognise and ask pardon that we did not know how, when it was necessary, to be true 'minis­ters of reconciliation' in the midst of our people torn by fratricidal war': cited in Lannon (1987), p. 114.

12. Although many priests, such as those involved in the Catholic labour move­ment, had for many years been outspoken critics of the regime, often incur­ring persecution as a result. The much later majority rejection of authoritarianism by the hierarchy, then, is far from the whole story. That same proviso applies to the story of all national Churches, but cannot be further reviewed in detail here since the focus is essentially on the position of the institution of the Church as led by the hierarchy.

13. For studies of the Church in East-Central Europe as a whole, see Ramet (1990) and Broun (1988), and, for Poland, Szajkowski (1983).

14. The most detailed - and often critical - study of the Ostpolitik is Stehle (1981). Then again, the Vatican line was not necessarily decisive: 'The main determinant of whether or not Catholic Churches can obtain con­cessions from their respective governments remains the internal strength of the churches ... The major factors which contribute to that strength include the percentage of the population that is Catholic, the fervour of that faith, the strength of the ecclesiastical organisation, the quality of the hierarchical leadership, and the identity of Catholicism with nationalism. (Hanson 1987, p. 232.)

21. Although the focus here is moral opposition to authoritarian regimes, the case for discounting the periods of elected government rule in El Salvador is self-evident, as is also the case in Guatemala. However, for this reason, and for the simple question of space, Church responses to mass violations in Colombia and Peru are not addressed, and neither are the different issues in Cuba.

have also been heavily involved in human rights work. For example, in the North East alone the military authorities at one time listed seventeen bishops as subversives (Mainwaring 1986, p. 96).

37. In fact, many of the Christian Democrats-to-be received formative training on social issues from the leading progressive priests at the Catholic University, as described in Araneda Bravo (1981). The semi-official history of the PDC is Grayson (1968). A recent study, also with an extensive bibli­ography, is Scully (1992).

38. Cardinal Caro was not a political reactionary, however, and was instrumen­tal in facilitating the assumption of power of the first progressive. Popular Front government in 1938. The point is rather that his leadership of the Church was essentially traditional, notwithstanding his concern for social works.

39. Smith (1982), p. 112. With the separation of Church from State, the naming of bishops became the sole prerogative of the pope, who would therefore tend to consult with his nuncio and the national episcopacy rather than the secular authorities.

40. Probably decisive was the fact that Silva had met John XXIII on a visit to Rome to obtain assistance in the wake of the 1960 earthquake, and immedi­ately established a rapport with him: Pinochet de la Barra (1987), p. 51 Another invaluable source is Silva Henriquez's own detailed memoirs (Silva Henriquez 1991), compiled by Ascanio Cavallo and which cover the period up to the end of 1973.

largely because they favoured a corporatist model of society, in the Hispanic tradition, as described in Cristi and Ruiz (1992). The key leader of the group was Jaime Guzman, who will feature prominently in succeeding chapters.

48. There are, for example, repeated references in his memoirs not only to the cardinal's reservations towards the UP, but also his chagrin that it was the Marxists rather than the Catholics who were most aware of the importance of the Church and who were, consequently, the most deferential in their dealings with him and other clerics.

49. The cardinal's concern was also to maintain a Church presence in national affairs to underline the fact it was not prepared to be marginalised by Marxism. Relations with the government had worsened by 1973 such that the primate did not attend the May 1973 event.

50. In so doing, as Smith notes (1982, p. 177): 'the Chilean bishops became the first national hierarchy in the world to admit publicly and as a body the compatibility of other forms of socialism [than classical Marxist-Leninism] with Catholic doctrine'.

4. The orders were issued on September 11. The decrees regarding the parties, 77 and 78, followed in mid-October. DL 77, moreover, declared the junta's intention to 'extirpate Marxism from Chile'.

7. Edict 5, 11 September 1973. 8. Although the army had intervened dramatically to curtail the ineffectual and

somewhat corrupted parliamentary regime in 1924, and was key in the pro­mulgation of the new Constitution of 1925, its disengagement from political involvement by the time of Arturo Alessandri's return to the presidency in 1932 appeared equally definitive. See Nunn (1976).

12. Fifty-nine were formally executed by order of the Councils (ibid, Vol. II, p. 883). The courts were arbitrary, however: some cases were even trans­ferred to civil courts and dismissed.

13. In a press conference of 14 March 1975, the Interior Ministry gave the fol­lowing figures: 41 759 persons were detained between the coup and that time, of which 36 605 had by then been released. Of the remainder 1557 had received sentences, 1780 cases were in progress, 400 were deemed common criminals and 1116 were still awaiting trial under the laws of the State of Siege. As the Peace Committee pointed out at the time, by the government's own figures this left 301 persons unaccounted for.

Samuel Valenzuela, 'The Development of the Labor Movement Opposition to the Military Regime', pp. 230-69 in Valenzuela and Valenzuela (1986). This collection is an authoritative, synthetic source on political and economic developments to the early 1980s.

18. The issue of the intervention of the Catholic universities, over which the primate had official jurisdiction, became an important bone of contention between Church and State, making Allende's ENU proposed reform pale in comparison. See Smith (1982), pp. 320-1.

19. The beginning of the issue of exile came with DL 81, 11 October 1973, which gave the government the right to expel Chileans from their country.

27. El Mercurio, 8 November 1973. In fact, there is more to the story. Pope Paul was prepared to have the Chilean bishops publish a papal letter of out­right condemnation of the military's action. Silva Henriquez persuaded him, however, that the letter should be suppressed in the interests of the Church's need to adopt a neutral rather than confrontational position vis-a-vis the junta, also because this was the most effective means by which to help the persecuted.

32. Interview with Mgr Ariztia, 19 March 1992. 33. By order signed by Silva on 9 October, mimeo, 1973. 34. For example, the bishops interviewed at greatest length during the course of

research, Mgrs Pinera and Valech (bishops, respectively, in Temuco and Santiago at the time of the coup), were at pains to explain their experiences of the chaos in the country by that time, and also their own consequent hos­tility towards the Allende government. Only Mgr Ariztia, due in part to the fact he lived in a working-class sector of Santiago in which he had lived, was sympathetic to the process taking place under the UP.

35. Moreover, minutes of the early meetings of the directors of the Committee show their particular care at the time with the wording of these pieces, even the ordering of the services being offered.

36. La Prensa, 5 November 1973. The second announcement, published in El Mercurio, 10 November, was more specific adding, for example, that workers should not sign resignations. It also quotes Isiah 11, 3-5 and signs off, in capitals: THE WORK OF JUSTICE WILL BE PEACE'. These advertisements were paid for. The Committee rapidly needed more space than that available in the offices of the archbishopric and moved to the Santa Monica address, also near the city centre, where it remained until its closure.

44. It is now also known that this DL contained three secret articles (9,10 and 11) which gave to the DINA the authority to carry out arrests and house-to-house searches, and, retroactively, validated the actions of the DINA prior to its official creation, since it had in fact been functioning since the coup. Official recognition of the DINA's powers was also retrospective: in September 1977 Pinochet announced that the new central security agency replacing the DINA would not have these powers.

45. National Commission (1991), Vol. I, p. 43. 46. The MIR was never formally part of the UP alliance, but had very close

links with it; for instance, it was the MIR which was charged with Allende's personal security.

47. The Committee's analysis of the testimonies of survivors released from DINA's centres shows that the initially random forms of torture, when dif­ferent security forces were involved, was replaced by a more uniform approach designed to kill only when desired.

48. Indeed, the full logic of those masterminding the repressive process was probably one which might be termed 'ideological cleansing'. The Vicaria holds a copy of a secret report made in October 1973 by a military doctor (a Dr Schuster, working at the time of the coup in the San Juan de Dios hospi­tal) which recommends the separation of UP supporters into different cate­gories for different 'treatments'. These were: extremists or highly dangerous activists, which he deemed 'irrecoverable'; ideologically motivated activists, to be analysed meticulously in order to determine what to do in each case; militants of UP parties, considered as having been acting under orders and thus 'recoverable' with a degree of political control; and UP sympathisers (the majority), to be won over by (unspecified) 'intelligent and successful' policies.

59. A practice confirmed by both the Committee's executive secretaries, Fernando Salas and Cristian Precht, who took over from him. Interviews, respectively, 5 November 1991 and 24 September 1991/3 October 1991. As Mgr Precht put it, with gentle humour, 'It is better to ask for pardon than permission.'

60. Fernando Salas left in order to complete his Jesuit training. The choice of Cristian Precht was also determined by the need for a young man to take on the demanding nature of the work; he was, moreover, in a position to take on the job without having to leave a parish, as he came from a teaching post in a seminary. Interviews with both as above.

61. Fernando Salas recounted an illustrative anecdote in this respect. Towards the end of 1973 he had occasion to see, for the first time, a poster of the Universal Declaration in the office of a friend who had worked with the UN. He took it under his jacket to a shop to photocopy it for the Committee office. The attendant furtively made the copies at the back of the shop; the reaction in the Committee itself was to consider this a daring new departure. He realised then the potential of the Declaration. Interview as above.

62. These points were emphasised by the head of the Committee's legal depart­ment, Jose Zalaquett: interview 2 September 1991.

63. Interview with Fernando Salas 5 November 1991. 64. La Segunda, 16 May 1974. 65. Such happened with the case of a 16-year-old girl, who, having been raped,

had her naked body covered with waste scraps to be set on by rats. Beyond even this reference in La Segunda, the original report adds that she also had bottles and broom handles successively rammed into her vagina and was injected with oil to be subsequently operated on when the hypodermic snapped inside her.

66. Bonilla's role as a whole is ambiguous. He was the only member of the government prepared to listen to the Committee's heads, but, it seems, could do little. He died under suspicious circumstances in 1975, having already been replaced by a hardliner in the Interior Ministry. See Cavallo et al. (1988), pp. 52-3. This is an indispensable source on the internal workings of the regime.

15 November ten staff members in Santiago were under arrest, also without any visiting rights, and some five other pastors and priests connected to the provincial offices had also been detained. All were freed, including the other priests arrested on charges of asylum of the Miristas, at different moments, by early the following year. A number of the foreign religious workers, and legal department head Jose Zalaquett, however, were subse­quently expelled from the country.

3 The Hierarchy, the Vicaria and the Regime

3. Indeed, the second major pronouncement of the previous period, the Working Document 'Gospel and Peace' of September 1975 was more con­ciliatory towards the government than 'Reconciliation in Chile'. In one passage it thanked the regime for saving the country from imminent Marxist dictatorship, and it lacked the direct references to specific viola­tions of the previous document: Documentos, 16, p. 110.

reasons consistent with the use of the term Vicaria. 12. It should be remembered that the Church had no experience of being the

employer of an organisation staffed in the majority by lay persons. The staff of the Vicaria were anxious to put to rest what was perceived as a constant threat to diminish their numbers and thus the work done. Eventually, by the consensus of the staff, a welfare fund was set up whereby all contributed 7 per cent of their income to accumulate as a pension fund in order to free the Church of all responsibility. Interview with Javier Luis Egafia, 27 September 1991.

13. Other prominent Christian Democrat lawyers also worked in collaboration with both the Peace Committee and the Vicaria, as well as other less promi­nent PDC members.

16. Radio Balmaceda, belonging to the PDC, was intermittently silenced and definitively closed in January 1977. It was replaced in 1977 by Radio Cooperativa, which in turn became an important outlet for the Vicaria.

17. The bulletin was published as something between a newspaper and maga­zine, on A3 page size with an average of some 20 pages. The climate of the times was such that it was for many years treated as a semi-clandestine pub­lication by its readership, and there were cases of police harassment of those found with it in their homes.

25. Although one dramatic exception was the attempted assassination of Bernardo Leighton in Rome in September 1975. Leighton was a prominent dissident in the party, favouring alliance with the left against Pinochet.

26. There is no consensus as yet on the exact numbers. In 1977 the Department of Migration of the Episcopal Conference estimated the number leaving for political or economic reasons to have been as high as 10 per cent of the population, although by 1986 the Commission for the Returning put the figure at between 100 000 and 200 000.

things, of rendering inapplicable other checks on the permitted duration of detention without charge.

33. 'Nuestra Convivencia Nacional' Documentos, 36, pp. 164-72. The original printing of this document, moreover, was entrusted to the Vicaria. The most outspoken government reaction to it came from the recently appointed Justice Minister Damilano, leading to protestations from the bishops. Damilano was expendable, and resigned.

36. There had been three cases during the same period of the Vicaria receiving visits from individuals claiming to have family members missing for whom the Vicaria began the relevant proceedings. The individuals never returned to follow through; rather they corresponded to the new exposes in the press. Ahumada et al. (1989), Vol. II, pp. 500-3.

were the praetorian style of Chilean diplomacy, which won it few friends, and the fact that the government was pursuing a relentlessly anti-Communist line at a time when international relations were becoming more diverse: Mufioz (1986).

further descriptions of the rise of the 'Chicago boys'. 51. In reflecting on Chile's past, Guzman was to assert that a central problem

had been not to realise that social and economic liberty were more meaning­ful than political liberty: Ercilla, 22 August 1979.

54. Or, as Foxley put it: 'objective conditions pushed simultaneously from the political and economic spheres in the direction of formulating a more global ideological and political project'(1983, p. 94).

55. This is demonstrated by the wording of the consultation itself: 'In the face of the international aggression unleashed against our country, I give my support to President Pinochet in his defence of the dignity of Chile, and I reaffirm the legitimacy of the government of the Republic to lead with sov­ereignty the process of the institutionalisation of the same.' For this reason, too, junta members Leigh and Merino tried to prevent it by publicly criticis­ing the whole idea. Their letters to that effect can be found in Chile-America, Nos 39-40 (January and February 1978).

63. The idea had come from Javier Luis Egafia and Cristian Precht, who had to argue long and hard with the primate to convince him of the need for these events and the symposium. Silva Henriquez feared that they would only heighten tensions and be seen to be taking the Church too far away from its normal pastoral concerns: interviews as above.

64. The relatives were organised in the Agrupacion de Familiares de Detenidos Desaparecidas, formed at the time of the episode of the 119 'factional killings of Miristas' in 1975. More discussion of the Agrupacion follows in the next chapter.

65. El Mercurio, 27 May 1978. He also replied to the first intercessions of the Church in letter to Vicar General Ignacio Ortuzar by saying that he consid­ered the affair to be one which concerned neither Church nor government.

67. El Mercurio, 6 June. 68. 28 May 1978. There were, however, provisos as to the 'political agitation'

involved in the affair, and the paper also heavily criticised those priests who joined the hunger strike, in its editorial of 31 May.

69. These were also subsequently published by the Vicaria over 1978 and 1979 in what came to seven volumes of 5000 editions each in a collection called 'iDonde Estdn?' ('Where are they?'). These detailed 466 cases from Santiago and the provinces for which there was full and irrefutable wit­nessed evidence. A final report was submitted to the cardinal containing 613 documented cases.

73. El Mercurio adopted a subtle, multi-faceted approach to discrediting indi­vidual visitors. For example, it was said of Theo Van Boven, director of the UN's Human Rights division, that he been elected with the vote of the Socialist Bloc. The Archbishop of La Paz's presence was associated with his words that Bolivia had the right to a corridor to the Pacific (Editions 15 and 20 November, respectively).

74. La Segunda, 23 November 1978. 75. For example, El Mercurio, 24 November, which also noted, 'his speech was

76. The Letter also insisted on the importance of collective rights: 'All human rights and fundamental liberties are indivisible and interdependent. Men can only enjoy liberty and justice if conditions are created whereby they can exer­cise both civil and political rights and economic, social and cultural ones.' This echoed the closing speech given by Cristian Precht in which he empha­sised that human rights were interdependent {'los derechos humanos son soli-darios entre si"). El Mercurio, 26 November, published the Letter in its entirety, but highlighted the point that violations occur throughout the world.

77. The Vicaria shared the prize with Amnesty International, the Women's Union of Tunisia, the International Committee of the Red Cross, the Aga Khan, and, posthumously, Martin Luther King. Its award was not publicised in the Chilean press.

4 The Vicaria and the Opposition

1. Extracts from the key document to that effect, Frei's letter to the head of the Christian Democratic International Organisation, of 8 November 1973, are published in Chile-America, No. 4, pp. 52-3. A detailed chronology of the party's evolving position follows in Nos 4-7 (January-April 1975). For a more detailed PDC invective against the UP see Arriagada (1974).

2. The journal functioned from the end of 1974 till the mid-1980s. It gave con­siderable prominence to the activities of the Church, Vicaria and the human rights situation in Chile (a reflection of the concerns of its contributors, but also another indication of their importance to the opposition as a whole).

3. See, for example, 'La Unica Base Posible de la Unidad del Pueblo es la Lucha Antifascista', declaration, Santiago, 5 June 1974, in Partido Comunista de Chile 1976. See too A. Varas et al. (1988).

4. The principal participants being Patricio Aylwin himself for the PDC and Manuel Antonio Garreton, MAPU member during the Allende government, loosely representing the left. Since so many political leaders as such of the left were then either in exile or living in clandestinity, there was a tendency at the time for the left's semi-public presence to be through intellectuals.

10. For instance, in 1965 the XIII National Party Congress reiterated the PC's willingness to work with the Church in a climate of 'mutual respect'. See Lufs Corvalan, 'La Iglesia Catolica en Chile' in Chile-America, 28-30 (February-April 1977). This piece, which begins with praise of the Peace Committee and the Vicaria, was also clandestinely widely circulated in Chile.

11. Three PDC members and associate or staff lawyers of the Vicaria were at pains to register their considerable resentment of their party's human rights policy: Hernan Montealegre (Interview 3 September 1991); Roberto Garreton (28 August 1991) and Jaime Hales (11 March 1992): Hales noted, by way of example, that he was told in 1980 to cease his human rights com­mentaries on PDC-owned Radio Cooperativa by its then director, Genaro Arriagada, on the grounds that it might endanger the Radio. Viera-Gallo and Rodriguez (1987) also found that there was very thin PDC participation in human rights defence work.

12. One cleric who made this point, for example, was Mgr. Baeza, Vicar of the Pastoral Obrera: interview 25 March 1992.

13. Departmento Jurfdico-Asistencial, in Tercer aho de labor. For more on the principles and practices of the legal department, see, too, Jaime Esponda, 'Objetivos y criterios estrategicos aplicados por la Vicaria de la Solidaridad en su tarea de defensa de los derechos humanos', in Friihling (1986), pp. 107-39.

14. Quinto aho de labor. See Appendix 1 for further details of other years. 15. Indeed, in some cases the Vicaria would warn individuals not to use its ser­

vices at all even in the first instance, unless there was no alternative, since its subsequent refusal to pursue the case would appear tantamount to a verdict of guilty. Much of the information in this and the previous para­graph was provided by Alejandro Gonzalez in interviews as above.

of this chapter. 18. For the labour movement, see Angell (1972), and for the life and work of

20. Interview as above. Mgr Baeza himself was a prominent member of the Christians for Socialism during the UP, an indication of Cardinal Silva's willingness to encourage a progressive, even radical, approach to the Church's relations with the union movement.

21. Documentos 1974-1980, 74, pp. 411-9. For the effects of government pol­icies on the rural workforce, see Silva (1987).

22. Quantitatively, for example, in 1982 its legal unit dealt with 167 judicial and 115 extrajudicial cases, and ran three sessions of legal training for rural organisation leaders. That year its technical assistance programme benefited 361 small farmers and farm labourers, and 448 attended technical and organisational training courses: Septimo aho de labor. See, again, Appendix 1 for further figures.

23. At which, of the 200 rural union leaders invited, 179 attended. The depart­ment head, Sergio Sanchez, died before this investigation began.

24. The following is drawn from Orellana, 'Lucha silenciosa por los derechos humanos: el caso de FASIC in Orellana and Hutchinson (1991), pp. 143-98. As his title of the piece suggests, the work of FASIC was con­siderably lower key and thus less well known than that of the Peace Committee and Vicaria.

25. Quantitatively, FASIC treated 4174 patients between 1977 and 1985. It sup­ported organisations such as PIDEE and CINTRAS, victims' and exiles' support groups: ibid, p. 180. For the work of its psychologists, see Weinstein, Lira et al. (1984 and 1987).

26. For more detail on the Agrupacion, see Vidal (1982). 27. Material support was important for many because they had no death certifi­

cate for their disappeared family member, and thus were unable to claim any of the pensions to which they were entitled.

28. Sola Sierra, the President of the Agrupacion, was most insistent on this point: interview 8 April 1992.

29. Vidal notes that when women associated with the Communist Party began playing an increasingly important role in the Agrupacion - in the wake of the repression of the party in 1976 - they in particular brought this vision to the organisation: Vidal (1982), p. 79.

30. The remains were discovered by an old retired miner, who had spent the years since the coup combing the areas for his son. His story is recounted in Ahumada^a/. (1989), Vol. 3, pp. 146-58.

officials responsible for the interment of the remains, sought by the relatives with the support of the Vicaria, were subsequently annulled. The police captain whom Banados's investigation had found responsible for the deaths of the fifteen in Lonquen was later promoted. The ovens of Lonquen them­selves, which had become the site of frequent pilgrimages, were blown up and cordoned-off on the grounds that they had been sold for private devel­opment, although no such development ensued.

36. Although total numbers for those arrested en masse in Santiago were down from the previous year, at 1456 and 1058 respectively. In 1978, however, arrests were concentrated exclusively in May and June, the majority associ­ated with May Day workers' demonstrations: Tercer aho de labor.

37. As well as the three cases already mentioned, directly related to the Lonquen case the other arrests of those five were made during acts to com­memorate the Santiago Letter the year before, and the 31st anniversary of the Universal Declaration. The others included those occurring in conjunc­tion with peaceful mass demonstrations on May Day. Figures from Terner aho de labor.

43. Its founders also recognise the fundamentally important role of the Church, as well as international solidarity, in paving the way for its actions. Interview with Hugo Ocampo, director, 10 September 1991.

44. Staff numbers in 1980 were 135, well over half the total in the Vicaria. Exact figures were not available, but it appears that the 'Zonas' budget was roughly two-thirds of the total average of some US$2 million. Much funding from international agencies was directly donated for specific social purposes, such as health work or the purchase of food, and it was this which sustained the department.

These include: Gonzalo Aguirre, Isabel Donoso, Rita Farias, Julia Figueroa, Ana Maria Medioli, Vladimiro Saez, Daniela Sanchez, Adriana Sepulveda, Mirta Tobar and Tina Valenzuela.

52. Enrique Nunez, 31 January 1992. His case is particularly illustrative of the process at work. A long-time Communist, he joined a bolsa after release from prison and continued to be involved with it even though he himself found employment, and also participated for a time in his local Christian Community. After leaving for the reasons outlined, he devoted himself to work in the union movement, in the CNS. From that time his contact with the Vicaria revolved around its legal and medical aid as he was subse­quently arrested eighteen times, on four occasions detained by the CNI.

53. Decent housing was 'an inalienable right of all Chileans': El Derecho a la Vivienda hoy en Chile, Arzobispado de Santiago, Vicaria, Coleccion Cartillas Populates (1980). In his 1979 presidential address, Pinochet had asserted that, in accordance with the structural modernisations 'housing shall cease to be a boon [dddiva] of the state, which means the product of the sacrifice of many for the benefit of the privileged few'. For state housing policies over the authoritarian period see Rosenman (1988).

7. Interview with Cristian Precht, as above, and with Ascanio Cavallo, 28 January 1992. Indeed, Precht never has been named bishop. The consen­sus among many Church members interviewed was that this was purely due to his work in the Vicaria, and was certainly not a matter of personal merit.

8. These points were made clear in interview with Juan de Castro, 10 September 1991. It should not be taken to mean that there was any ani­mosity between him and Precht.

9. De Castro used the Chilean term cototo for 'bump on the head', implying an unwelcome growth through injury. Interview with Juan de Castro as above.

10. The following information is primarily from interview with Javier Luis Egafia.

11. Indeed, a piece by one staff member reflected the counter-argument that the Church had manipulated the left by gaining its support for the pre-eminence of non-partisan considerations in the defence of human rights: Luis Enrique Salinas, 'La Vicaria y la Presencia de la Izquierda' mimeo, 1979.

progressive recruitment of more religious, or lay religious, staff to the terri­torial teams. However, until 1988 the professional staff continued to be paid via the Plaza de Armas, although they now needed a dual contract with their zone, a situation which created some ambiguity and tension.

16. Interview with Juan de Castro, as above. He was not, however, the only one to describe this situation; the same was corroborated many times over, par­ticularly by members of the zones teams themselves.

17. Enrique Alvear died of illness the following April (1982). One of his best known works on this subject is 'Desde Cristo Solidario construimos una Iglesia Solidaria', written just before he died. As an indication of his partic­ular importance, a foundation has been created in his name which functions from the Western Zone office and diffuses his writings as well as sponsor­ing various local organisations. His biography is Salinas (1991).

ing and defending the dignity and rights of man, the Vicaria of Solidarity should carry out an integrally prophetic action. Prophetic in the sense that contained within its work of denunciation is the annunciation of the Gospel ... so that the actions which provoke the denunciation are not repeated. Integral, in the sense that, while recognising that certain rights are more important (such as the right to life and physical and psychological integrity), the others are not ignored, in the consciousness that it is the human person, in all his dimensions, which it is called upon to safeguard and promote.

28. Naturally, too, the converse applied to supporters of the regime. The most famous example of the reaction of the regime was a widely publicised exclamation on the part of Lucia Hiriat de Pinochet that 'God had answered our prayers!'

29. Interview with the author, 1 April 1992. 30. One significant moment for Church-State relations in this period was the

hierarchy's decision, in December 1983, finally and unanimously to declare that anyone involved in the practice of torture was automatically excommu­nicated: 'Un Camino Cristiano', December 1983, Documentos 1981-83.

31. The Vicaria's new executive secretary of the time, Enrique Palet, stressed these points: interview, 23 January 1992. Some members of staff, in fact, left the Vicaria in order to dedicate themselves to political activity and avoid compromising the Vicaria thereby. A notable example was staff doctor Manuel Alymeda, who went to lead the leftist oppositional grouping, the Popular Democratic Movement (MDP): interview with Alymeda 17 March 1992. For more on political leaders' views of the role of the Church at the time and later, see Dooner (1989).

32. Castillo (1986), p. 42. 33. Aldunate et al. (n.d.), pp. 368-9. 34. At times, indeed, the cardinal dismayed not only Liberationist, but also

more moderate sectors by supporting the regime at key junctures, such as his agreement to hold a Te Deum in March 1981 for the inauguration of Pinochet as Constitutional President. See Cavallo (1988), pp. 131-3. Much of the background to these observations comes from interviews with Jose Aldunate, SJ, a leading figure of the Liberationist Church in Chile.

35. 'Solidaridad', 6, p. 8. 36. As one leading analyst of the Chilean Church put it, the shift in the

Church's position meant 'silencing its prophetic role and entering into a kind of tacit pact with the social order by insisting that any process of con-

testation or protest be 'peaceful' and within the bounds tolerated by the regime itself: Parker (1989), p. 100.

37. See Castillo (1986). In this work he predicts the further evolution of growing hierarchical strictures on the radicalised bases. In interview (20 January 1992.), he confirmed that this was the direction in which the Church had moved, as he saw it.

38. For example, one of the first acts of Fresno when he assumed office in Santiago was to ban the popular masses which had developed, and insist that the traditional form of services be followed in all parishes.

39. Gutierrez (1986) has himself written in some detail of his time as vicario, following his subsequent quitting of the Jesuit Order. When published, this book was itself a matter of some controversy in Chile, since he writes not only of his surprise at being appointed to the Vicaria, but also of his low regard for Fresno, which did not alter over time.

40. In interview, Fresno himself preferred to pass over the whole episode, and there was no opportunity to pursue the matter with him.

41. El Mercurio, 17 August 1984. Both Archbishops Fresno and Pifiera, however, came out in public support for Gutierrez: El Mercurio 18 August; Ultimas Noticias, 21 August.

42. El Mercurio 8 September 1984. These allegations were subsequently denied by both Gutierrez and Kennedy himself: Gutierrez (1986).

43. The government's refusal to allow Gutierrez to return to Chile, in November 1984, coincided with its declaration of a State of Siege in reponse to popular mobilisation against it, as will be further reviewed in the next chapter. Moreover, Gutierrez was in Rome at the time with other members of the hierarchy in a series of meetings with exiled opposition groups. These meet­ings culminated in the formal commitment of the Church to strengthen its ties with those groups by the creation of the Pastoral of Exile, an umbrella organisation which worked closely with the Vicaria, in the charge of Bishop Alejandro Goic.

44. This event is also described in greater detail in the following chapter. 45. See El Mercurio, 5 June, and Gutierrez (1986), pp. 143-53. 46. El Mercurio, 29 November 1984. 47. Interview with Enrique Palet, as above.

6 Vicaria, Church, Regime and Opposition, 1983-89

1. The call for a day of national protest, made on 7 May, was, in fact, a modifi­cation of an earlier call for a national strike. That was altered as a result of the regime's successful division of the range of union groupings, and a series of repressive measures against, particularly, the copper workers. The process of the evolution of the national protests is analysed in Garreton (1987) and, in more detail for the 1983-84 period, in de la Maza and Garces 1985.

2. Solidaridad, 156. 3. The Vicaria's figures for political arrests in Santiago in 1983 rose to some

3000; although as the organisation itself pointed out, official figures were

7. See Eduardo Valenzuela (1985), and Politzer (1989). 8. In the case of CODEPU, the particularly close association with often violent

political groups led (until it broke with them) to an undermining of the essentially humanitarian character of the organisation, as admitted by its director: interview with Hugo Ocampo, 9 September 1991. For more on the political affiliations of the human rights groups, see Orrellana and Hutchinson (1991) and Friihling (1985).

9. Interview with Fernando Castillo, as in Chapter 5. 10. The Episcopal Conference's declarations included, for example, 'Mas alia

de la protesta y la violencia' (24 June 1983), whose key concern, as its title suggests, was to condemn the use of violence. On the other hand, that was aimed at least as much against the authorities as the populace, whose right to dissent was also reaffirmed: Documentos 1981-1983. Succeeding decla­rations tended increasingly to stress pacifism and moderation: Documentos 1984-1987.

11. Members also recount some of the more absurd moments in their struggle. On at least one occasion the police did not have enough vans in which to arrest the whole group, which led to bizarre scenes of members trying to persuade the police to provide more vehicles so that they, too, could be arrested with the others: interview with Lucho Santibafiez, 15 March 1993. For more on the Movement, see Vidal (1986). It continued to function until 1990, but by the end had lost its original strength as a result of the interfer­ence of extremist political groups.

12. For the background to the event see Gutierrez (1986), pp. 181-99. 13. El Mercurio, 10 August 1984. Significantly, however, the following day's

editorial was considerably more critical, once more, of the Church's polit­ical involvement.

14. In fact, the Vicaria's heads had held previous meetings with political leaders to secure undertakings to that effect, and on the day those leaders were standing by the Vicaria's windows, overlooking the crowds in front of the cathedral, in case they should have to intervene to silence partisan slogans and so on: interview with Enrique Palet, as in previous chapters.

15. Three months later, the investigating magistrate appointed to investigate the case, Hernan Correa de la Cerda, named the police corporal responsible for the shooting, basing his verdict on ballistic evidence. As usual, however, the case was then handed over to the military courts - and buried. The cased is described in verduga (1985).

16. In other words, it would seem that there was something of a trade-off between government and hierarchy on the matter, although that did not

lessen the Church leadership's outrage with the government: Ahumada et al. (1989), Vol. Ill, pp. 530-1. At the time, too, the State of Siege meant that a letter by Fresno on Church-government relations was banned from the press and had to be read in Church services: Solidaridad, 189, (November 1984).

17. Solidaridad, therefore, continued to be of importance in supplementing the other opposition press, particularly during those periods of reinforced censorship.

22. Real wages, which had nearly regained 1970 levels by 1981, stood at 83% of that level in 1985. Unemployment the same year stood at 24%: CIEPLAN (1988). At their height (1983) the state was employing over half a million people. See Graham (1991).

27. During the first stage of the investigation, as it became clear to public opinion that the police were implicated, the government's decision to sacri­fice those police officers responsible had already been apparent: the CNI itself provided Canovas with the names of the twelve.

28. The full story of the continuation of the case is too long to be usefully sum­marised. However, it did reach dramatic culmination in May 1993 with the eventual sentencing of five of those originally implicated. Mendoza was also himself indicted for trial but not sentenced; Fontaine had been assassi­nated in May 1990.

position from 1983. They, of course, were themselves as individuals in opposition to Pinochet, but before that time had always had to defend the neutrality of the institution itself. From 1983, however, the popular upsurge gave them greater confidence to act more concertedly as a form of opposi­tion. Interview with Maria Luisa Sepiilveda and Gustavo Villalobos, 23 March 1993.

32. Vicaria lawyers speculate that the designation of Torres was probably the result of a decision, at the highest level, that this case was one which could be pursued to the destruction of the Vicaria. I requested an interview with (now) Auditor General Torres on two occasions, but was refused.

36. La Tercera, 27 July 1986. 37. An evocative account of the climate in the country in the aftermath of the

assassination attempt is the novel of an associate Vicaria lawyer, Jaime Hales (Hales 1991). The Vicaria's records note that the amount of arrests over 1986, at 7019, were the highest for ten years: Undecimo aho.

38. Torture methods included an Orwellian use of rats see the Chilean Comm­ission's and the Vicaria's Monthly Reports, September 1986.

39. Torres also tried to have Villalobos rearrested on the same charges, but in his case the Court ruled that no innovations could be made: one of the many examples of the arbitrariness of the judiciary which characterised the case.

40. In fact, this was a deliberate policy decision taken within the Vicaria in the interests of winning public, and psychological, points against Torres: inter­view with Alejandro Gonzalez as in previous chapters.

41. El Mercurio, 17 January 1987. 42. LaNacion, 10 March 1987. 43. The details of the planning and progress of the visit are recounted in Cavallo

44. The pope's speeches were printed in various editions, including that of the National Commission for the Visit, Santiago, 1987.

45. An analysis of television coverage of the visit was made by Portales et al (1988).

46. The other MDP delegate was (Alymeda group) the Socialist, German Correa. Correa presented the pope with a cross made by his mother and Sanfuentes bore a rosary for papal blessing. A number of people inter­viewed referred to these gestures as demonstrations of the degree to which the Church had earned the gratitude of leftist leaders: such scenes would have been difficult to imagine in the pre-coup context.

47. La Epoca was launched in March 1987. Before its publication, however, the paper had had to fight a three-year battle in the courts before the latter eventually ruled that the government had the power to 'restrict' but not 'suspend' the freedom of the press. Two months later it was joined by the reappearance of the more leftist For tin Mapocho.

48. The pontiff added, significantly, that 'Some say that the Church acts polit­ically, but it does not. The Church cannot allow itself to die.' La Epoca, 1 April 1987, El Mercurio''s coverage of the same day omitted this.

52. See Cavallo et al. (1988), Ch. 52. 53. El Mercurio, 31 December 1987. 54. A further indication of the right's anxiety about the Church was the appearance

of a weekly publication, Negro en el Blanco, whose circulation reached 50 000 in June 1987. It was essentially an organ of anti-Church propaganda, and so extremist that it probably undermined its own chances of being taken seriously.

and the chief spokesman of the priests, the Jesuit Pepe Aldunate (also co-founder of the Sebastian Acevedo movement), which was as much about ecclesiastical chains of authority as the Church's view of Pinochet. See La Epoca, 3, 5 and 7 July 1988.

60. Decimotercer aho de labor. 61. See Garcia Villegas (1990). 62. Interview with Ascanio Cavallo, editor of La Epoca, as in previous chapters. 63. The most dramatic example was the televised outburst of Socialist Ricardo

Lagos, of 25 April 1988, who defied Pinochet to offer the country 'eight more years of torture, assassinations and violations of human rights'. The event caused tremendous national controversy, including subsequent threats and charges against Lagos, and also launched the latter's political career as the key leader of the left.

64. These observations are based on a talk and video presentation given in St Antony's, Oxford, by Juan Gabrial Valdes, one of the television cam­paign managers, on 22 October 1989. One published source describing reac­tions to the campaign is Tomic (1989).

65. At least, this was the result of the major FLACSO survey. This found that, of those voting 'No', 72 per cent said they were doing so because of the economic situation; 57 per cent because of human rights; 39 per cent disap­proval of Pinochet's government and 21 per cent to return to democracy.

effects of those still under charges in the bakery case, including Villalobos and Olivares, just a month after the latter's release.

96. For most, the finding of new employment did not pose a problem; many entered the government in widely varying capacities, or journalism, or non­governmental organisations, or, in the case of the lawyers, returned to private practice.

97. The creation of this Corporation was part of the stipulations of the Rettig report, and was formally constituted by Law 19.123 in January 1992. Its head was the former head of the legal department (and executive secretary from 1990-91 following Enrique Palet's retirement), Alejandro Gonzalez.

98. The great majority of the organisations had either ceased to exist, or had passed into other non-governmental organisations, as happened with the remaining ollas comunes. The 40 or more groups which remained with the new Vicaria were mainly women's cooperatives.

99. Of the thirteen staff, eleven were from the old Vicaria. They were uncertain of the future, since most of the members of the solidarity organisations were women who had been with them for many years and their adaptation to the new national circumstances had been a difficult one: interview with Eduardo Rojas and Julia Figueroa, 6 March 1993.

7 Moral Opposition to Authoritarian Rule in Chile: An Appraisal

3. The CERC carried out a major survey of opinions towards the Church in Santiago in August 1989. As in the 1986 suvery (Huneeus 1987), separate marks out of 7 were awarded to the Church and the Vicaria. When disaggre­gated among those declaring a political preference, those on the left gave the Church and the Vicaria, respectively, 6.3 and 6.5; centrists awarded 6.1 and 5.8 points respectively; those declaring themsleves on the right gave 5.7 and 4.6. People without or refusing to state political preference awarded 6.0 and 5.5. Rayo and Porath (1990).

4. As already noted, beyond anecdotal evidence and that of the opinion poll just cited, there is unfortunately no quantitative evidence of increased Church prestige; none the less it is something which all clerics and church analysts interviewed were quite insistent upon. An issue not considered here is the growth of charismatic, Protestant sects in Chile, roughly assumed to represent 15 per cent of the population (Martin 1990). Apart from simple lack of space, one reason this matter does not feature is that the growth of

charismatic religious practice is a continent-wide phenomenon, and thus also reflects broad societal developments which extend beyond the political situation in any particular country.

5. Interview with Cristian Precht, as in previous chapters. Precht was not the only cleric to make the point, however. All Church leaders interviewed said more or less the same and in very similar terms.

6. Moreover, one must always be careful to avoid exaggeration of the Church's renewed emphasis on spiritual matters under the papacy of John Paul II. The present pope does not, any more than his more recent predeces­sors, see the two as mutally exclusive; hence his own numerous social encyclicals, not to mention his own role particularly in Central and Eastern Europe.

7. For example, Chile remains a country where divorce is not legal, and neither does legislation to that effect appear imminent.

8. Kiing (1968), p. 486. He goes on to add: 'If the Church is really in sympathy with the world ... a passive, more or less peaceful coexistence will not be sufficient. There will have to be pro-existence rather than coexistence, involvement rather than disengagement.'

9. For more on this issue, see Ffrench-Davis (1991). 10. For example, Monica Madariaga insisted in interview that, as a result of

National Security classes which she was obliged to take as a member of Pinochet's government, she formed a vision of the Communists as being a race of diabolic supermen.

11. This is as regards full respect for individual civil rights and personal secu­rity. Naturally, the civilian elements in the regime shared the military's determination to suppress, and supersede, the political right of pluralism. That issue, however, was one which regime propaganda could more easily justify since it was much less obviously a moral matter.

12. Interview with Luis Maira, 21 January 1992. 13. Moreover, it would be simplistic simply to imply that all the working

classes and the poor were anti-Pinochet; this was patently not the case as the plebiscite results show.

14. One reason why this study has not addressed these issues is that the litera­ture is already large. See, for example: Kirkwood (1986); Crispi (1987); Meza (1986); Raczynski and Serrano (1985); M.E. Valenzuela (1987) and Patricia M. Chuchryk, 'Feminist Anti-Authoritarian Politics: The Role of Women's Organisations in the Chilean Transition to Democracy', pp. 149-84 in Jacquette (1989).

15. As recent research shows, there is still a very long way to go to increase the presence and voice of women and women's issues in Chilean politics: MaCaulay(1993).

16. This applies both to the literature on regime transitions, notably O'Donnell, Schmitter and Whitehead (1986), and Diamond, Linz and Lipset (1989), and to more classic versions of regime analysis such as Dahl (1971 and 1982), and Linz (1975).

PRIMARY SOURCES

Interviews

A wide range of people were consulted during the course of the research undertaken in Chile for this study, the bulk of which was carried out between June 1991 and March 1992. These included members of the clergy, of the remaining staff of the Vicaria at the time, former staff members and associate lawyers, members of solidar­ity organisations and other human rights groups in Chile, representatives of all major political parties, and numerous academics. Not all of these have been credited in the text; however I am most grateful for the cooperation and goodwill of all those con­sulted.

The Vicaria's own extensive archives were, naturally, an invaluable source of information, both as regards the organisation's internal documents and publica­tions, and its enormous collection of press cuttings. Listed below are the major sources consulted. The numerous mimeographs referred to in the footnotes are not repeated, other than those which represent key documents of the Peace Committee.

The Vicaria 1. Periodic publications and reports

Solidaridad Bulletin: 300 were published between its creation in July 1977 and closure in May 1990, at bi-monthly intervals. The Annual Reports of the Vicaria's work. Thirteen annual reports were pro­duced, covering the years 1976 to 1988, under the titles Un aho de labor up to Decimotercer aho de labor. Annual Human Rights reports. Under the title Los derechos humanos en Chile annual reports of the human rights situation over that year were produced from the Vicaria's inception until 1989. Monthly reports. More detailed analysis of the events of each month were produced over the same period. Presentations to the Supreme Court. Annual catalogues of the human rights situation and response of the judiciary, presented at the beginning of each judicial year.
