U.S. Training and Advisory Assistance to the Armed Forces of El Salvador from 1981-1991 and the Resulting Decline in Human Rights Abuses: The Role of U.S. Army Special Forces.

Description

The writer’s work analyzes the contribution of U.S. Army Special Forces (SF) to the reduction of gross human rights violations committed by the El Salvadoran Armed Forces (ESAF) all over its conflict against the FMLN guerrilla organization between 1980-1992. The writer demonstrates that the mix of persistent SF presence, training, and U.S. security assistance funds served as factors which in the end modified an abusive behavior of the ESAF within the area of human rights. The writer convincingly uses the data from the United Nations’ “Commision at the Truth for El Salvador” to toughen his thesis and challenge the location of such human rights’ organizatons as WOLA, Human Rights Watch and so forth…that most incessantly view and assert that U.S.involvement has a negative effect at the human rights situation and actionns of a partner nation’s armed forces.
