The CVR. After two years of intensive work, the CVR presented its Final Report to the Peruvian nation on August 28, 2003. It reveals the true magnitude of the internal armed conflict, and based on the reports received as well as statistical calculations and estimates, the CVR established that the most probable number of Peruvians who may have died as a result of the conflict is 69,280 people. This estimate is sourced from the reports received by the CVR of 23,969 Peruvians killed or disappeared, and data accumulated by the Defensoría del Pueblo and human rights organizations.
