ECCHR supports
victims of political violence under the Argentinean military dictatorship that
have pressed criminal charges in Argentina. On 12 November 2009 ECCHR Berlin
filed a legal opinion as an amicus curiae
(friend of the court) with an
Argentinian court of the province San Martín.
In this legal opinion ECCHR points out that the Argentinean government is obliged to investigate the responsibility of corporate actors in connection with the human rights violations of the military dictatorship. It furthermore demonstrates that since the progeny trials of the Nuremberg War Crime Trials investigating the role of economic actors is part of dealing with state crime.
