On the basis of the 1992 Peace Agreements, a commitment was established to make progress in respecting and promoting human rights, which had been violated at a number of levels during the violent period of the armed conflict in El Salvador.
L'engagement à promouvoir le respect et la défense des droits de l'homme, en veillant à ce que les nombreuses violations commises pendant le conflit armé ne puissent se reproduire, a servi de fondement aux accords de paix conclus en 1992.
