Description

The current situation in Argentina is unprecedented. In compliance with prescribed timings and procedures, the crimes committed by the state in contemporary history are being prosecuted and penalized. This book traces the path of the rigors for crimes against humanity in Argentina, from the Trial of the Juntas that started all through the presidency of Raúl Alfonsín to current developments under Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, analysing the guidelines of memory, truth and justice. Within the volume, judges, lawyers, historians, journalists and witnesses from the era of terror give a lucid and crucial reconstruction of the last thirty years. The contributors also point to other states where crimes against humanity are still being committed every day, in spite of being notionally proscribed.
This book is translated from Spanish, at the beginning appearing under the title Juicios por crímenes de lesa humanidad en Argentina (2011).
