In 2020 - among other blatant human rights violations - damning allegations of human rights abuses, cover-ups and impunity have prompted growing calls for a root-and-branch reform of Chile's national police force.The force has been accused of a string of abuses since the outbreak of widespread protests a year ago - most recently when an officer was caught on camera bundling a 16-year-old demonstrator over the railings of a bridge in Santiago. Chile's political opposition are also moving to have interior minister Víctor Pérez removed from office just two months after his appointment. President Sebastián Piñera last year narrowly survived a similar attempt to have him removed from office over his response to the protests. Former interior minister Andrés Chadwick was dismissed in December, and barred from holding public office for five years for systemic violation of human rights. International NGOs have also joined in the chorus of criticism. An Amnesty International report published details on systematic human rights abuses on the part of the Carabineros and demands an end to a tradition of impunity. These are not isolated cases of officers who have not followed protocols - this report is the culmination of a year-long investigation that has found human rights abuses and the excessive use of force are entirely normalised, as is impunity for the perpetrators, said Erika Guevara-Rosas, Amnesty International's Americas director. So there are a lot of challenges President Sebastián Piñera needs to resolve in Chile, so that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) can be upheld in the Republic of Chile; especially Article 3 of the UDHR: Right to Life, Liberty, Personal Security and Artice 7: All are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law. This includes overcoming Covid-19 peacefully, without using police violence. Also, amid the COVID-19 Pandemic it is very important that social distancing guidelines are implemented by the government of Chile; including hand hygiene, cleaning, occupancy and indoor space and air managements, and appropriate protective equipment. Furthermore, the implementation of a Basic Income Guarantee and basic health insurance are essential - so that people can provide for themselves and their children, and are not penalised for upholding social distancing guidelines; which are essential so that COVID-19 can finally be overcome in Chile and the International Community.
