Semana contra la Impunidad: week against impunity in Uruguay

摘要

Despite its long-standing experience with democracy, during the 1970s and 1980s Uruguay – like its neighbours in the Southern Cone – fell under the spell of military rule and political violence.udStarting with Brazil in 1964, the whole region witnessed waves of authoritarian takeovers by the Armed Forces and the following consolidation of dictatorial regimes that employed policies of state terror inspired and sustained by the National Security Doctrine.
