Because in this aspiration, we are accompanied by the strength of the voices of hundreds of previous generations who suffered the consequences of war, and whose echo is still heard today in all the places still leaves its sinister memorial dead, missing, disabled, refugees and displaced persons.

The Human Rights Agenda for the Bicentennial , originated in a proposal made in time of the 2005 presidential elections, has become a proactive initiative of organizations and individuals in civil society, which presents a "road map" for successive administrations of the State in order to place the promotion and protection of Human Rights the center of the political achievements and in response to the legitimate aspirations of all people living in Chile.
(...) The political and institutional development of Chile in the years preceding the 1973 coup, was, implicitly at least, linked to the improvement in the enjoyment of human rights, the restoration of democracy in 1990, while , was explicitly marked by the struggle for conquest.
Most of those who have held senior positions at the new democracy, participated in this process: the Chilean democracy today should be a model society based on full respect for the values \u200b\u200bof the essential dignity of all persons are under our jurisdiction, in the elimination of all forms of discrimination in universal solidarity, and the deepening of democratic participation.
The proximity of the bicentennial of the independence of Chile, should encourage the society to celebrate the event in a framework in which every person living in the country to feel safe in the enjoyment of all rights: civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights. This means, first, that public policies are designed and implemented a human rights perspective and, on the other hand, the adoption of specific public policies for the promotion and protection of these rights.
(...) set out proposals focus on strengthening the significant progress made in recent years, but also to consolidate this progress and to prevent setbacks. This is especially important for serious violations of human rights committed during the dictatorship (1973-1990).
(...) It is essential for Chile to establish a common agenda of Human Rights, which, considering concrete and effective action, mark a milestone in the bicentenary of independence. This milestone also convinced that we must focus on the recognition of the dignity and improve the quality of life for all people.
For the above reasons, the proposing organizations require the Chilean State, through the Government and other authorities that represent it, to adopt a National Human Rights Agenda of the Bicentennial, to consider, at least, the initiatives are attached.
