Summary:

Judge Maru00eda Servini ruled that the actions of political organizations in the 1970s are not crimes against humanity, war crimes, or severe human rights violations, making them prescripted. As a result, she rejected a request by human rights organizations to reopen a case related to the 1976 events at the Federal Security Superintendence. The Argentine justice system has consistently maintained since 2001 that the state's repressive actions during the military dictatorship constitute crimes against humanity and are therefore imprescriptible. The government, judiciary, and executive have committed to pursuing policies of Memory, Truth, and Justice for over 20 years, with over 320 public trials and the condemnation of nearly 1200 perpetrators. The document emphasizes that these policies are essential to democracy and the country's response to threats from those who seek to undermine them.

La jueza federal María Servini, titular del juzgado federal 1 de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, resolvió que la actuación de organizaciones políticas en los años 70’s no son crímenes de lesa humanidad ni crímenes de guerra ni graves violaciones a los derechos humanos y por lo tanto se encuentra prescripta. Lo hizo al rechazar un pedido realizado por asociaciones defensoras de represores que buscan reabrir una causa por los hechos ocurridos el 2 de julio de 1976 en la Superintendencia de Seguridad Federal.

La Justicia sostiene ininterrumpidamente desde 2001 que el accionar represivo del Estado durante la dictadura cívico-militar constituye crímenes de lesa humanidad y en consecuencia imprescriptible; y que hay un deber de investigar, juzgar, sancionar y reparar a las víctimas. Ninguno de esos elementos se aplica a estos hechos cometidos por organizaciones políticas, como ratificó la Corte Suprema de Justicia de la Nación y diferentes tribunales en esta y otras causas.

Este tipo de denuncias intentan equiparar el terrorismo de Estado con la actuación de organizaciones políticas y volver a instalar la “teoría de los dos demoniosâ€ para garantizar la impunidad de quienes secuestraron, torturaron, abusaron, asesinaron, desaparecieron y se apropiaron de cientos de niños y niñas.

Amparados en normas nacionales e internacionales, los poderes Ejecutivo, Legislativo y Judicial se han comprometido desde hace 20 años en llevar adelante las políticas de Memoria, Verdad y Justicia. Como parte de esa política de Estado, ya se han realizado más de 320 juicios orales y públicos con la condena de casi 1200 represores en un proceso que ha respetado todas las garantías constitucionales y que es reconocido como un ejemplo por todo el mundo.

Estas políticas de derechos humanos son parte esencial de la construcción de estos 40 años de democracia y, junto a nuestras Madres, nuestras Abuelas, familiares y sobrevivientes, el pueblo argentino ha salido en su defensa cada vez que estas han sido amenazadas porque no hay democracia sin justicia, sin memoria, sin verdad y sin reparación.

Summary

The Argentine Federal Judge, Maru00eda Servini, has ruled that the actions of political organizations during the 1970s are not crimes of humanity, war crimes, or serious violations of human rights, and are therefore prescription. This decision was made in response to a petition filed by associations that defend repressors seeking to reopen a case related to events that occurred on July 2, 1976, at the Federal Security Superintendency.

The judge’s ruling runs counter to the ongoing stance of the Argentine justice system, which has consistently maintained since 2001 that the repressive actions of the state during the civic-military dictatorship constitute crimes of humanity and are therefore imprescriptible. The courts have also consistently emphasized the duty to investigate, judge, punish, and compensate victims.

The rejection of the petition is not limited to this specific case, as the Argentine Supreme Court and other courts have previously ruled that the actions of political organizations during the 1970s are distinct from the state’s repressive actions and are not subject to the same legal framework.

The decision to reject the petition is seen as an attempt to equate state terrorism with the actions of political organizations and to reintroduce the “theory of the two demons”” in order to ensure the impunity of those responsible for kidnapping
