Abstract: In this study, we reflect on the 25 years of the Research, Documentation, and Reference Center on Social Movements and Public Policies in Rural Areas (NMSPP), analyzing its contributions to transitional justice in Brazil. At the creation of truth commissions, between 2012 and 2013, the NMSPP already possessed a significant collection of documents on peasant and indigenous struggles, as well as the violations of their rights, unleashed during the corporate-military dictatorshipof 1964-1985. This accumulation allowed NMSPP researchers to work alongside the Peasant Truth Commission and the State Truth Commission of Rio de Janeiro, followed by community-engaged projects and reparation requests, experiences that are reported and analyzed here. Due to the specificities of repression in rural areas, such investigations helped to highlight a set of violations beyond the categories incorporated by international law, which often limit transitional justice initiatives to a restricted set of violations.
