Details
The Chilean state has failed to fully prosecute past abuses by the Pinochet regime. Currently, the state is also failing to uphold the rights of people with disabilities. Chile’s Indigenous peoples suffer discrimination over land rights and are vulnerable to targeted attacks from drug traffickers, mining companies, and state police. Police have subjected civilians to torture and other human rights abuses. (Chile Country Report, 2021)
