State Terrorism and Post-transitional Justice in Argentina: An Analysis of Mega Cause I Trial

Mega Cause I was one of the largest in a recent surge of trials in Argentina for human rights violations committed during the dictatorship of 1976-1983. This study analyzes Mega Cause I within a post-transitional justice framework, examining the role played by the state and human rights organizations and the trial's successes and difficulties.

Coreen Davis focuses on the criminal trials that are currently taking place in Argentina against alleged perpetrators of human rights violations committed during the last civil-military dictatorship (1976-1983). the book offers an interesting read, especially for those who are not so familiar with Argentina and with the human rights trials that are currently taking place in that country.
