The CVR, Some Reflections Seven Years Later
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (CVR) is a great achievement of Peru's democratic transition. The CVR Report, presented to the country on August 28, 2003, consists of 9 volumes with more than 4,000 pages. The Peruvian Episcopal Conference in its Christmas 2003 message noted that "We embrace this Report, with whatever limitations it may have, because it is a valuable work and a starting point for moving forward," but there is still a long way to go before the CVR's diagnosis is absorbed by Peruvian society as a whole.
