Abstract: We will examine the role of truth and settlement committee in social healing, criminal investigation and prevention of further abuse. Peru's truth reconciliation committee announced the findings in August 2003 and presented Argentina's experience to obtain partial justice, the pattern of oppression and death that occurred during the reign of Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet The Peruvian Committee, which discussed the role of the Chilean Commission to clarify, investigated human rights violations made by democratically elected governments in the 1980s and 1990s.

The Truth and Reconciliation Committee is required to carry out two basic functions: (1) formal recognition of abuse and human rights and dignity, (2) compensation, monetary compensation, official apology, memorial and Other forms of official official national truth reconciliation committee ask to establish an official committee with clear and clear duties in parliamentary law. The committee will investigate past and present police violence and will require considerable assistance from all 50 state agents, with the task of recording the occurrence of public records. These agents should also engage civil society officials, interest groups and the general public and record official testimony.
