Chile INDH Director Accuses Government of Ideological Reform to Weaken Rights Body

Yerko Ljubetic, director of Chile's National Institute of Human Rights (INDH), publicly accused the government of pushing a reform to dismantle and neutralize the organization, citing ideological motivations. The reform, introduced to the Chamber, would alter the INDH's attributions and structure. This marks a direct institutional clash between the state human rights body and the executive, raising concerns about the independence of human rights oversight in Chile.
