Before his resignation from Undersecretary of State for Human Rights of the NationThe former judge announced this days ago Alberto Banos gave a speech to the United Nations Committee Against Torturewhat did a mean? transcendent change in the position that Argentina took in relation to the armed conflicts of the 1970s and their consequences.
The delegation, which also included the Undersecretary of State for Correctional Affairs, Julian Curiand to the Legal Undersecretary of the Ministry of Security, Diego GoldmanMany of the current complaints our country is receiving about alleged abuses by its security and corrections officials, based on intentionally false reports, are considered false.
Baños expressed that the government a Policy of “full remembrance” of the past and that some human rights organizations had no interest in the truth as they faced questions about numbers 30,000 are missing As they have claimed in the past, the occasional dissident is accused of being a “denier.” This – continued the official at the time – despite the fact that the origin of this false number had been known for years and its author, now living, explained the purpose he had at the time in citing this number before international organizations.
Baños’ bold statements are finally being registered as Manifestation of a truth hidden by Kirchnerist governments this did not come to light during the president’s term in office Mauricio Macridespite his election promises.
Baños claimed that some human rights organizations had no interest in the truth
In fact, one of the falsehoods of the successive Kirchnerist presidential governments is the claim made by the military dictatorship between 1976 and 1983 that the number of disappeared people disappeared during the military dictatorship between 1976 and 1983 Center for Law and Social Sciences (CELS) and other organizations aligned to the left of the ideological arc. The figure of 30,000 missing people has been stated as an absolute truth in declarations, decrees, slogans and government websites, as well as in educational programs, conferences and even legal regulations.
However, that is Unified Register of Victims of State Terrorism of the Secretariat for Human Rightscreated precisely by the Kirchnerist government, which consulted the habeas corpus, the complaints, the work of the Conadep and thousands of court cases succeeded in identifying 7,018 missing persons, not between 1976 and 1983, the period during which the so-called National Reorganization Process was extended, but over a period ten years longer, that is, between 1966 and 1983.
The statements of the current former undersecretary of state that the origin and perpetrator of this fallacy are known refer to the never disputed public statements of Luis Labranaa former montonero who went into exile during the last military dictatorship. For years, Labraña has expressed in all media the untruth of the number of 30,000 missing people. Every time he is asked, he claims that the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo arrived in Amsterdam with a list of 4,800 people in this condition and that they needed money to finance their activities. He assures that they had the intention to claim the existence of genocide in order to obtain financial support from the Dutch, but that the number of victims was not sufficient to reach the standards necessary for the existence of this type of crime. “We got together and made up the number… We said several: one was 15,000, another was 30,000 and other nonsense. Finally 30,000 was approved and it stayed at that. I was the one who said the number. I was the person who said 30,000.” Officially there are 8,000 missing peopleLabraña assured before clarifying “All the mothers (from Plaza de Mayo) agreed to invent the number”.
There is much other compelling evidence that proves Baños right in the statements he made as an official in the current administration. Shortly after acceptance, Nestor Kirchner It simply gave in to CELS and was then commanded Horacio Verbitskythe design and implementation of our country’s human rights policy. This former guerrilla, member of the Peronist forces in the beginning and then became part of the group Montonerosmaintained close relationships with several international human rights organizations.
Together with CELS, he drafted Decree 1086/2005, which contains only a few articles but a 261-page appendix that would remain unpublished in the Official Journal for years. The reason for this was the introduction of an extraordinary series of changes that would have a decisive impact on the political, cultural, economic and educational spheres of Argentina, never before announced or discussed by our society. The program included, among other things, education in support of abortion and sex selection “in view of the discrimination practiced by religion and medicine to recognize only two genders.” Back in 2005, it promoted equal marriage, the passage of laws that consider sex reassignment as a right for people with different sexual and gender identities, and sexual education so that children and young people can make “free decisions without discrimination or coercion.” The program supported the demands of the indigenous peoples and, citing a CELS report, also pointed out that the mission of the police in Argentina was historically focused on the social discipline and political control of the population, therefore it recommended a restructuring of the traditional modalities of crime prevention and suppression, the police organization and the investigative system in the judiciary. At the same time, he opposed all initiatives by these forces to achieve a certain level of autonomy, authority and their own crime prevention initiatives.
