HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL
24th session
Item 4: Human rights situations that require the Council’s attention
22nd August 2013
11 September 2013 marks the fortieth anniversary of the 1973 Chilean coup d’état. The CETIM would like to honor the memory of all the victims of the Chilean military dictatorship with this declaration.
It should be noted that Chile has ratified the majority of international instruments on human rights. In accordance with the principle of pacta sunt servanda, Chile is required to faithfully comply with these international treaties and fulfill its international obligations, to which it freely agreed. Chile cannot invoke its domestic law as a reason for not fulfilling its obligations.
