He helped to restore democracy to Chile after 17 years of harsh dictatorship under General Pinochet, and was later elected president. He appointed an independent commission that found that 3,197 people were killed for political reasons under Pinochet. The report paved the way for the first trials of military officers, which years later would reach Pinochet himself.
