| Summary / Abstract (Note) | THE 1990s were a time of change for Chile. March 11, 1990 was the first day in office of the first democratically elected president in 17 years. Patricio Aylwin. Aylwin succeeded dictator Augusto Pinochet, who had ruled the country since 1973. Pinochet's Chile was generally ostracized by the international community. His radical right-wing regime was condemned by the Soviet Union and its allies. Most of them, including the Soviet Union, severed their diplomatic relations with Chile after the military coup of September 11, 1973, and the death of the overthrown president Salvador Allende. The majority of Western states denounced mass violations of human rights in Chile. A workgroup on Chile was established within the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, a measure that had no precedents in UN history and in effect represented condemnation, although indirect, of the Pinochet regime by the organization.1 Chile immediately became an international pariah, a country shunned by the Eastern bloc, the West and the Non-Aligned Movement alike. |
