LAToRE* Abstract: The military regimes of the countries of the Southern Cone of South America cooperated under Operation Condor to eradicate all political opposition throughout the 1960s and 1970s. The military leaders of these regimes are only now being brought to justice for their crimes, which include widespread killing and "disappearances" of political opponents and, in Argentina, the stealing of babies born to doomed political dissidents. It is only in the last decade that these crimes have been brought to light so that the perpetrators can be brought to justice and nations deeply wounded can begin to heal.

INTRODUCTION: LATIN AMERICAN STRUGGLE FOR DEMOCRACY The dreadful experiences endured in Latin America during the 1970's and 1980's evolved into a troubled transitional period before democracy began to consolidate. In those two decades, military rulers from all over the region displaced democratically elected governments through the use of force, and imprisoned, tortured and killed their opponents, including the baby-snatch- ing cases or trafficking with the newborn of murdered prison- ers.1 The term "desaparecido"was coined to name those who disappeared without a trace after being arrested by members of the security forces, burdening their relatives with the addi- tional anguish of not knowing the fate of their loved ones.

  • Accountability and Justice for Past Human Rights Violations in Argentina
    ―I can´t get no satisfaction‖: Accountability and Justice for Past Human Rights Violations in Argentina. Catalina Smulovitz (UTDT-Conicet) Buenos Aires July 2008 19/06/2009Paper prepared for the Project: ―Comparing the Effectiveness of the Accountability Mechanisms in Eastern Europe and Latin America‖ jointly organized by El Colegio de México and the United Nations University in association with Oxford University 1 I. Introduction In Latin America rulers of democratic transitions face a disquieting challenge: how to make members of the Armed Forces accountable for their past human rights violations? Should they punish or pardon them? While punishment could trigger Armed Forces revolt against the new democratic regime, pardons could endanger the legitimacy of the new democracy, and its ability to do justice and to subordinate the military to civilian rule. The consolidation of democracy implies equality before the law and respect for human rights, but the new regimes also need the collaboration of armed forces that still vindicate the used repressive strategies that still command strong resources to revolt and that could threaten its survival. The way this dilemma is solved is not only a problem about the past (how to treat past human rights violations?), it also affects the present and future of the new regimes. And it is relevant not only for its ethical implications but also because it could determine the success or failure of the democratic processes. The way in which Latin American countries initially1 confronted the question was diverse. While in some countries, pre transition negotiations between the military and civilian actors explicitly precluded judicial treatment of past human rights violations (Chile, Uruguay) in others, judicial treatment could not be deterred (Argentina).

Regarding Simón y otros: Accountability in Argentina and International Human Rights as Domestic Positive Law Gaspar Forteza* INTRODUCTION Twenty-five years ago, a man, a woman, and their infant daughter were abducted by paramilitary forces from their home in Argentina. The man and woman were taken for interrogation to an infamous clandestine military installation known as “El Olympo,” where they were separated from their daughter. More than twenty years later, the man’s mother learned that her now adult granddaughter was living under an assumed identity as the daughter of a military official. The fate of the man and woman is still unknown and they are presumed murdered—as such, they are “disappeared.” Occurrences such as this were unfortunately not uncommon during the previous military dicta- torship of Argentina. Conservative estimates place the number of forced disappear- ances during the military regime that controlled the Argentinean gov- ernment during 1976-1983 between 10,000 and 15,000 persons.1 Short- ly after the end of military rule in 1983, the Argentinean National Congress passed legislation that effectively amnestied many persons who allegedly committed human rights violations such as torture, ex- tra-judicial killing, and forced disappearance.

  • Sexual Violence in the Military Dictatorships of Latin America: Who Wants to Know?1
    SEXUAL VIOLENCE IN THE MILITARY DICTATORSHIPS OF LATIN AMERICA: WHO WANTS TO KNOW?1 Mariana Joffily • Why reports of abuses committed against political prisoners • in the region are only now being heard ABSTRACT Why was the sexual violence that was committed principally against women during the Latin American military dictatorships from the 1960s until the 1980s not a topic of debate immediately following the transition to democracy and has only in recent years become the subject of deeper reflection and closer attention? This article intends to organise elements of the response to this question, reflecting on the particular nature of sexual crime, how memories of political violence have taken shape over time and the transformation of the concept of gender violence within international and legal bodies in Latin American countries. It concludes that attention to this type of crime could only be given after a series of social and legal changes had been brought about in equality and gender and argues that, although there has been considerable progress, important advances still need to be made in bringing acts of violence, particularly against women, to light. KEYWORDS Sexual violence | Political repression | Military dictatorship | Memory | Transitional justice | Feminism • SUR 24 - v.13 n.24 • 165 - 176 | 2016 165 SEXUAL VIOLENCE IN THE MILITARY DICTATORSHIPS OF LATIN AMERICA: WHO WANTS TO KNOW?

  • THESIS 'They Deserve It': Media Crime Discourse in Argentina
    THESIS ‘They deserve it’: Media crime discourse in Argentina during the 1990s A socio-semiotic analysis on the punitive approach towards crime By Cynthia Fernández Roich A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Social Sciences Faculty of Arts April 2014 ABSTRACT This thesis analyses the conditions of production of the punitive crime discourse in the Argentinean press. Specifically, it focuses on the media’s dissemination of the premise that ‘they deserve to die’ in reference to petty criminals; how this type of discourse was developed and consolidated throughout the 1990s; and how it helped to create consensus on a punitive approach towards crime, which was then crystallised in ‘zero tolerance’ crime policies. To trace the origins of such a discourse, this research analyses several features of Argentinean history such as the country’s military past, its weak democratic traditions, its society’s high tolerance for corruption, and the police practice, inherited from military forces, of detaining and torturing civilians. The questions guiding this thesis led to a comparison of the narrative features of the military discourses of the 1970s and the media crime discourses of the 1990s. This analysis assisted in understanding the persistency of the ‘zero tolerance’ and ‘iron fist’ discourses when reporting crime in contemporary Argentina and the possible implications of this for Argentine democracy. A key component of the originality of this thesis’s contribution to this topic lies in the way it bases its visual and textual analyses of media discourse on the theory of social discourses elaborated by Argentinean semiotician Eliseo Verón: it uses social semiotics to analyse more than 500 front pages and 380 editorials of three Argentinean newspapers Clarín, La Nación and Página 12.
