Comisión Nacional sobre la Desaparición de Personas (CONADEP)

The Comisión Nacional sobre la Desaparición de Personas (CONADEP) was a commission established in Argentina in 1983 to investigate and document cases of people who were forcibly disappeared during the military dictatorship (1976-1983). Its purpose was to uncover the truth, identify victims, and promote justice. The findings helped bring international attention to human rights abuses and laid the groundwork for legal actions against those responsible. CONADEP played a crucial role in acknowledging victims’ experiences and fostering movements toward accountability and reconciliation in Argentina.
