The impact of far-right discourses and practices on human rights related to the dictatorship in Chile
In light of the recent rise of the Chilean far right, this case study explores far-right revisionist discourses on the military dictatorship. To do so, the authors analyse both far-right discourses expressed on X (formerly Twitter) as well as discourses and practices expressed in relation to the desecration of human rights memorials. The paper reveals how transitional justice initiatives and even the broader human rights framework are coming under increasing scrutiny in Chile.
