Title: Executive Leadership and the Continuing Quest for Justice in Argentina
País: United States
Idioma: English
Fuente: Fuente:  Human Rights QuarterlyFuente:  Human Rights Quarterly
Reseña: After Argentina transitioned from military rule to democracy, the new civilian government attempted to prosecute members of the former military regime for human rights abuses. However, military rebellions, pardons, and amnesty laws prevented all but a few from being held accountable for past crimes. In 2003, President Néstor Kirchner along with the Argentine legislature and Supreme Court opened the door for further prosecution. Though many contributed to the revival of these efforts to prosecute military personnel and police, it was the actions of President Kirchner that were most crucial in removing the obstacles necessary to resume judicial proceedings.
