From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The forced disappeared by state terrorism in Argentina, or disappeared, are those who were victims of the crime of forced disappearance during the civic-military dictatorship of Argentina , which it called itself National Reorganization Process (1976-1983). The disappered were locked up in clandestine detention centers, where they were subjected to torture and in many cases killed. The first disappearances and clandestine detention centers were installed in 1975, during the constitutional government of María Estela Martínez de Perón and continued until 1984, during the constitutional government of Raúl Alfonsín .

Definition[edit]

The Inter-American Convention on Forced Disappearance of Persons [1], signed in 1994, considers the forced disappearance as an crime against humanity and defines it as follows

lo considera como un delito de lesa humanidad imprescriptible y lo define del siguiente modo:

Forced disappearance is considered to be the act of depriving a person or persons of his or their freedom, in whatever way, perpetrated by agents of the state or by persons or groups of persons acting with the authorization, support, or acquiescence of the state, followed by an absence of information or a refusal to acknowledge that deprivation of freedom or to give information on the whereabouts of that person, thereby impeding his or her recourse to the applicable legal remedies and procedural guarantees.
