The Notre Dame Prize to Former Chilean President Aylwin

April 23, 2001

Sir, From your earliest years, you were taught to love liberty, justice, and peace. As a Christian humanist, you have always known that these gifts of God, these attributes of a wholesome society, are interdependent. As a poli­tician, you learned how to cultivate them. As a statesman, you learned how to safeguard them. As a Chilean, you learned how costly they are. In the painful and turbulent years before, during and immediately after the Pinochet dictatorship, you helped to rescue, restore, and revitalize your country's most crucial democratic in­stitutions.

Elected president in 1990, you launched a government of national reconciliation, created a Truth and Reconciliation Commission which helped clarifY the fates of more than 2,200 victims who had died or disap­peared during the country's darkest years, and obtained congressional leg­islation establishing the Reparations and Reconciliation Corporation which vindicated the honor of the victims, sought to a11eviate the suffering of their families, and continued to inves­tigate cases unresolved by the Com­mission.

During your years as president, the country's economy grew robustly, in­flation and unemployment shrank, and Chile was restored to respected mem­bership in the international commu­nity. Sirice leaving the presidency, you have been active in an organization which you founded, the Corporation for Justice and Democracy, through which you promote strategies for the promotion ofliberty, justice and peace.

In honor of your commitment, accom­plishment and vision, the University of Notre Dame is pleased to bestow this award for distinguished public service in Latin America. Congratulations and God bless you.

Father Edward A. Ma11oy
