not able secure decisive points of interest. Taking after the report, President Aylwin showed up on a transmission and authoritatively apologized in the interest of the Chilean government for the injury that such a large number had been put through. He formally prescribed that the administrative and political bodies that had partaken in these wrongdoings against mankind make motions of acknowledgment towards the individuals who experienced abuse.
