Brazilian Truth Commission

Bringing together some of the world s leading scholars, practitioners, and human-rights activists, this groundbreaking volume provides the first systematic analysis of the 2012 2014 Brazilian National Truth Commission. While attentive to the inquiry s local and national dimensions, it offers an illuminating transnational perspective that considers the Commission s Latin American regional context and relates it to global efforts for human rights accountability, contributing to a more general and critical reassessment of truth commissions from a variety of viewpoints.
