The United Nations says Chilean police used excessive force on demonstrators, committing serious human rights violations.
Ms Recabarren said Chilean authorities were already working to improve protocols and policy around several of the UN's key points.
"We reiterate our willingness to take up every that seeks to improve our practices with respect to human rights," she said During its October 30 to November 22 mission, the UN team documented 113 specific cases of torture and ill-treatment — mainly through"severe beatings" — and 24 cases of sexual violence against women, men and adolescents by members of the police and army.
It documented four unlawful deaths"involving state agents", including two in which there had been no apparent risk to the lives of military personnel, which could amount to an extrajudicial execution, Ms Guerras-Delgado said. An estimated 1,615 people remain in pre-trial detention among 28,000 detained since mid-October, she said.
