Post-Conflict Legacies: The Search for Disappeared Persons in Peru as Public Policy
The Internal Armed Conflict in Peru left more than 69,000 people killed and disappeared, both by subversive groups and by the Armed Forces. The CVR's final report recorded the identity — with full names — of 22,507 people killed and disappeared over the twenty years of the conflict and a total of 4,644 clandestine burial sites nationwide. The number of disappeared persons continues to grow; according to the National Registry of Disappeared Persons and Burial Sites (Renade), there are 20,329 disappeared persons. On the other hand, the restitution of remains to families is progressing more slowly: 865 people have been found and their remains returned to their families. Published on August 27, 2018.
