This report looks at how, decades after the dictatorships ended, former military officials across South America were finally facing pressure for their roles in Operation Condor. New documents, including the Paraguayan “Terror Archives”, show how the region’s military regimes coordinated kidnappings, torture, and killings from the 1970s through the 1980s. Argentina carried out the worst repression, but every Southern Cone dictatorship participated. The article also notes that many of these officers were trained at the U.S. School of the Americas and that investigations could eventually reach high-level U.S. figures like Henry Kissinger and former CIA officials. As more evidence surfaces, accountability for Condor’s transnational crimes is becoming harder for these regimes—and their international allies—to escape.
