Francisco Guillermo Cumplido Cereceda (23 October 1930 – 16 July 2022)[2] was a Chilean politician who served as Minister of Justice under Patricio Aylwin's government (1990–1994).[3][4]
From his work in the State, his role in the establishment and work of the National Commission for Truth and Reconciliation stood out. The commission sought to clarify the truth regarding crimes committed during the military dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet.[5]
He completed his primary education at the Salvador Sanfuentes School and at the Miguel Luis Amunátegui High School, and continued his secondary education at the Instituto Nacional General José Miguel Carrera, all of the aforementioned institutions located in Santiago. He later pursued higher education in law at the University of Chile.
He married Alicia Antonieta García Valdés; the marriage produced no children.[6]
Academic career
Between 1969 and 1972, he served as director of the Institute of Political and Administrative Sciences of the University of Chile, and from 1970 to 1978 he worked as a professor at the Latin American Faculty of Social Sciences (FLACSO). He also served as a professor of political institutions and constitutional law at the Diego Portales University, and as rector of the Miguel de Cervantes University.[7]
He also worked as a legal adviser to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), and as an adviser on constitutional reform projects during the governments of Presidents Jorge Alessandri (1958–1964) and Eduardo Frei Montalva (1964–1970).[7]
