History
Creation of the Institute
In the last decade, institutions for the protection and education of Human Rights have been created in most countries in the world and the region. In Chile, the creation of the INDH was initially contained in the conclusions of the Rettig Report (1991) to create a respectful culture around human rights.
The INDH was born as a space that looks at, reflects, and reviews our country’s history to install human rights in our present and promote them with strength and permanence into the future.
