Since the conclusion of the activities of the National Truth Commission (CNV) on December 16, 2014, there has been intense academic production in Brazil and abroad based on the report and documents gathered by the commission. These initiatives involved the description and analysis of the activities developed by the CNV, the translation of the text of the report into other languages, and research aimed at deepening and expanding the results obtained by the research conducted by the commission in the context of studies dedicated to the theme of transitional justice.

​

In order to collect, systematize and disseminate the documents, the report and information on the activities of the CNV, the Institute of International Relations of USP created NACE CNV Brazil, and UFF, through the Observatory of Present Time, is a partner of the Nucleus, along with other national and international universities.

​

Being a university extension activity, the diffusion of information about the CNV will take place through public access to a database to be made up of documents available in public and private archives, as well as academic production carried out in Brazil and in other countries.
