Over
Argentina’s eight-year Dirty War, the country’s Military Junta “disappeared” up
to thirty thousand of its students, journalists, political dissidents and
activists. This Thursday, September 18, 2014,
Argentina’s current Minister of Defense will discuss the legacy of this terror
at Washington College of Law. Other topics will include current human rights
initiatives and transitional justice.
As
NPR recently chronicled, the terror from the Dirty
War endures for families that the military cleaved apart. The Junta would
slaughter captive mothers and deliver their newborn babes to military families
to raise. Today, surviving grandmothers seek their stolen grandchildren.
Although
the specifics of Minister Rossi’s lecture are unclear, the talk should be worth
attending.
