Protesters' joyous as 'justice is done.'
Article Abstract:
Opponents of former Chilean dictator General Augusto Pinochet have warmly welcomed the ruling by the law lords that he is not immune from prosecution on the basis of being a former head of state. However, supporters of Pinochet have also welcomed the ruling, which states that he is not answerable for charges of human rights abuses before 1988. Amnesty International has indicated that the ruling is a milestone for international human rights law.
