Peru

Please note that I meant "Canadian" not "US" in my earlier comment.

Very moving, it gave me a real sense of what it is like to live under those conditions. I was reminded of earlier generations of my family who lived in real poverty and were obliged to emigrate to find a better life. The US footage underlines the fact that these issues affect people in so called "developed" and "democratic" nations as well.

I'm sure they exist. Its just easier for loggers and governments to pretend they don't

Interesting point Antonio. I think that question rings true around the world; those in charge are too eager to move on and put the past behind them, when the country's citizens really want to see some justice and accountability. The possibility of Bush being brought to trial (or not!) is just another example where it doesn't seem that Obama is brave enough to say 'Let's face the past, as well as moving on'.

Definitely this is a great step and at the same time is so sad. If this is what law found aout about an ex president, what can we expect from the ones that haven't been revealed? Here in my country (Mexico) there's so much to move froward still but apparently... people in charge of it are still afraid to face the facts from the past and theonly arguement that these people have to say (for example the ex president Echeverria... also a suspect for the massive killing of people in Tlatelolco in 1968) is that "the past is gone" and there's no need to ask for it anymore. Unbelieveable but true.

This is a great step towards justice in Latin America. Be interesting to see if other cases follow this lead; there's such a long history of widespread human rights abuses in the region.
