Peru’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which published its final report in 2003, estimated that in the fighting from 1980 to 2000 between 600,000 and 1 million people were displaced and more than 69,000 were killed or disappeared. The Fujimori government was accused of using death squads and of other crimes against humanity.
