Brazil approves truth commission law

Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff has signed a law creating a truth commission to investigate human rights abuses, including those committed during military rule in 1964-85. The commission will have the power to summon witnesses under oath and access all government documents, but an amnesty law does not mean that its findings will lead to any prosecutions.
