• The Search for Truth - The Declassified Record on Human Rights Abuses in Peru
  
  
  On Thursday, August 28, 2003, the Peruvian Truth and Reconciliation Commission released its final report, investigating 20 years of internal conflict and human rights abuses in Peru from 1980 to 2000. From the initial burning of ballot boxes by the Shining Path in Chusqui, Ayacucho, on May 17, 1980, to the eventual flight of former President Alberto Fujimori to Japan in November 2000, Peru has been witness to many forms of political violence and human rights violations, committed by both government forces and insurgent groups. This briefing book offers a selection of historical materials from U.S. government sources that sheds light on this brutal period. They are taken from a recent special release of records to the Peruvian people by the Bush administration and from collections of declassified documents obtained by the National Security Archive through the Freedom of Information Act. Both were important sources for the Truth Commission's report.

A country profile of Peru and chronology of key events, is available from the BBC website
