This presentation explains the main characteristics of Human Rights, such as being inherent, universal, and inalienable, and connects them to the historical and current Chilean context.

It includes an overview of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) and discusses why it was created, focusing on the atrocities committed during World War II, especially in Nazi concentration camps.

The presentation also highlights that violations of human rights still occur today, both globally (e.g., the Israeli-Palestinian conflict) and within Chile.
In the Chilean context, the PowerPoint emphasizes the importance of memory sites that serve as reminders of past violations during the military dictatorship. These include:
  • The Memorial to the Detained and Disappeared
  • The Memorial to Executed Political Prisoners in Pisagua
  • The National Stadium used as a detention center
  • The Víctor Jara Stadium (formerly Estadio Chile)
  • The Lonquén Ovens, where remains of victims were discovered
  • And the role of the Vicariate of Solidarity, which assisted victims and their families
The goal is to foster respect for human rights through the recognition and preservation of memory sites, encouraging reflection and learning in present and future generations.
