The National Truth Commission was approved by the Chamber of Deputies on 21 September 2011. Originally planned to investigate human rights violations during the military dictatorship of 1964–1985, it will investigate violations from the period of 1946–1988. The bill, which originated from the Executive branch, was approved in late 2011 by the Federal Senate and sanctioned by President Dilma Rousseff. After the end of the two years period, the commission will issue a report with its findings. The group will not have, however, the obligation to disclose everything they discover. They can choose whether they will reveal an information only to the President and Defense Minister Celso Amorim or to the whole public. - Source: Wikipedia
