Abstract

24 March 2016 marked the 40 year-anniversary since the coup d'état of the self-styled National Reorganization Process which led to seven years of a bloody dictatorship in Argentina. Among the Human Rights organizations that have emerged as a response to illegal disappearances of civilians and militants, the Mothers and Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo have been founded, both nationally and internationally, in evidence of the history of violence and as a peace symbol; as such, they have also entered the realm.
