The beginning -- The adventures of Augusto Pinochet in the United Kingdom : a "most civilized country" -- The investigations come home to Chile -- Argentina : truth and consequences -- The European cases -- Operation Condor redux -- The legal legacy of Pinochet : universal jurisdiction and its discontents -- The actors behind the Pinochet cases.
"The 1998 arrest of General Augusto Pinochet in London and subsequent extradition proceedings sent an electrifying wave through the international community. This legal precedent for bringing a former head of state to trial outside his home country signaled that neither the immunity of a former head of state nor legal amnesties at home could shield participants in the crimes of military governments. It also allowed victims of torture and crimes against humanity to hope that their tormentors might be brought to justice. In this meticulously researched volume, Naomi Roht-Arriaza examines the implications of the litigation against members of the Chilean and Argentine military governments and traces their effects through similar cases in Latin America and Europe."--BOOK JACKET.
