Human Rights Abuses In 1970s Argentina, Vanessa Gomez
Calvert Undergraduate Research Awards
In this paper I address various components to the human rights abuses in Argentina in the 1970s.

The international arena and the efforts of human rights groups are mentioned as a means to demonstrate the international implications of the regime. I wrote this paper to further my knowledge on human rights abuses and further the knowledge of all who read my attempt. This essay marks …
