We need your support!!
Are you a journalist, web designer or law student? Are you a relative or victim of repression? Or do you simply share the conviction that justice is an imperative need?
If so, then we invite you to form part of a network of volunteers!

The arrest of Pinochet in London and the thirtieth anniversary of the military coup stimulated renewed interest among Chileans and persons throughout the world to learn more about the story of the military dictatorship and its continuing implications for Chile today. The Memoria y Justicia web site responds to that concern by providing reliable information on the judicial history of human rights in Chile and developments on the legal front in the courts today.

Run on a shoestring budget, the web siteÕs development since its beginning three years ago has paralleled the availability of technical and economic resources. Based in Santiago, Chile, we have begun the year 2006 with no economic support, but with readership hovering near 2000 visitors each month, we are determined not to abandon the project.
We believe the Memoria y Justicia web site has yet to reach its full potential as a tool that advances the cause of justice. In the future we hope to:
Incorporate a news briefs section.
Expand the historic memory aspect of the web site.
Explore interactive mechanisms to make the site more responsive to current events, international human rights conferences and campaigns.
Update and maintain the Case Summary charts.
Incorporate more images.

We welcome your ideas and invite you, our readers, to participate.
We need pro bono designers and journalists!

ANOTHER WAY TO HELP
Memoria y Justicia Services arose from the need for an economic base to enable us to project the web site into the future. We now offer to the Chilean and international academic, journalism and law communities the skills that are evident in the web site:

Translation of legal documents from Spanish-English and English-Spanish
Research assistance on human rights, justice, and other social issues
Consultant services for preparation of human rights and justice reports
Coordination and scheduling of visits to Chile with human rights and community organizations, and lawyers

By employing Memoria y Justicia Services, you provide much needed support to allow the web site project to flourish and expand. For further information please contact us at info@memoriayjusticia.cl
