The director of the National Institute of Human Rights (INDH), Lorena Fries, delivered the report, and its first chapter makes reference to the controversial corruption cases that exists in the country like Penta, SQM, Corpesca and others.
The document points out that these facts are generating favorable environments for the vulneration of rights and are putting the State to the service of private interests.

In addition the report makes reference to the Constitutional process, by reiterating the recommendations given the last year. And also were mentioned others issues like the anti-delinquency Agenda, the conflicts at La Araucanía and crimes against human rights which occured through the year.
