Dealing with the crimes of the past is essential to ensure human rights protection in the future and requires concerted efforts at the regional level. This policy brief is based on a multi-year study carried out between 2013 and 2016 on accountability for Plan Condor crimes and, in particular, two knowledge exchange workshops, in which academics, lawyers, judges, prosecutors, policy experts and members of civil society from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Uruguay participated. The brief highlights the main challenges and obstacles that have delayed and slowed down the elucidation of past transnational atrocities in South America. It also sets out three recommendations to overcome these hindrances across the region: • Setting up multidisciplinary teams dedicated to investigating human rights atrocities; • Establishing a regional database or repository with information on Condor crimes; • Strengthening regional channels ensuring a smooth flow of evidence for use in criminal trials Details: Oxford, UK: Latin American Centre, University of Oxford, 2016. 16p.
