¿PACTO DE IMPUNIDAD?
Saludos a todos.
Escrito por don Juan Carlos, editor senior emérito.
Desde el punto de vista del derecho internacional, el principio de justicia no acepta términos medios ni perdonazos políticos. Los tratados que obligan al país, como el Estatuto de Roma y los acuerdos de la Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos, prohíben por completo que los gobiernos perdonen o dejen libres a criminales de lesa humanidad. No hay ley interna ni pacto político que pueda pasar por encima de la justicia global, la cual exige castigos reales y proporcionales para quienes torturaron, mataron o mutilaron de forma planificada, usando todo el poder de las armas del Estado para atacar a la población.
En el plano moral y de la dignidad, la exigencia de la ultraderecha de indultar a militares del 73 y a carabineros procesados por el estallido social es una provocación que busca normalizar la violencia del Estado. Intentar comparar decisiones políticas del pasado con la liberación de torturadores y asesinos uniformados es una manipulación asquerosa para limpiar el prontuario de gente que actuó con una crueldad inhumana. Perdonar a quienes usaron sus uniformes y su poder para destruir vidas es una burla sangrienta a la memoria colectiva, un insulto en la cara a las víctimas y una distorsión total de los valores morales de cualquier sociedad decente.
Chantaje electoral
Ceder a las presiones de estos grupos radicales no tiene nada que ver con la clemencia; es meter la impunidad por la ventana y dejar claro que la ley no mide a todos por igual. Si este gobierno usa el beneficio presidencial para soltar a criminales que actuaron con tanta barbarie, estará demostrando que trabaja para proteger a los represores. Dejar libres a los violadores de derechos humanos destruye cualquier posibilidad de justicia real y obliga a la gente a aceptar que los uniformados pueden masacrar y abusar sin pagar nunca por lo que hicieron. -

AN IMPUNITY PACT?
Greetings to all.
From the standpoint of international law, the principle of justice accepts no middle ground or political pardons. The treaties that bind the country, such as the Rome Statute and the agreements of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, strictly prohibit governments from pardoning or releasing criminals against humanity. No domestic law or political pact can override global justice, which demands real and proportional punishment for those who planned and executed torture, murder, or mutilation, using the full power of state weapons to attack the population.
On the level of morality and dignity, the demand from the far-right to pardon the military members from 1973 and the carabineros prosecuted following the social uprising is a provocation that seeks to normalize state violence. Attempting to compare past political decisions with the release of uniformed torturers and murderers is a manipulation intended to clear the records of those who acted with housing cruelty. Pardoning those who used their uniforms and their power to destroy lives is a grave mockery of collective memory, an insult to the victims, and a total distortion of the moral values of any decent society.
Electoral blackmail
Ceding to the pressure of these radical groups has nothing to do with clemency; it is an attempt to introduce impunity and makes it clear that the law does not apply to everyone equally. If this government uses presidential authority to release criminals who acted with such barbarism, it will demonstrate that it is working to protect oppressors. Setting human rights violators free destroys any possibility of real justice and forces the public to accept that those in uniform can commit massacres and abuses without ever being held accountable for their actions.
