This project showcases how the works of organizations and individuals have advanced the efforts to achieve justice for the crimes against humanity committed throughout 20th century Latin America. By conducting in-depth research on how organizations have advanced cases of disappeared persons through forensic anthropology and criminal prosecution, we answer the question of how specific organizations and individuals have revolutionized the fields of forensic anthropology and human rights in the pursuit for justice. Our research investigates newspaper articles, court cases, and other media resources to identify how forensic evidence has been used to hold human rights abusers accountable. We also compare the human rights crises in Latin America to other global human rights crises to identify similarities between their initiation and subsequent movements for justice. We expect to find similarities in the cases of forced disappearances in Latin America and gain detailed information on how different methods of justice have been pursued across the region. Our research will be culminated on a central website that depicts the background, development, and ongoing movements of Latin America’s human rights history. By presenting this information in an accessible form, we hope to increase the public's knowledge of forensics and human rights, and to explain the value of these fields in attaining justice in Latin America and ultimately around the world.
