JxC repudiated the Human Rights report that the government will present to the UN: “It is absolutely false”
“Unusually, in an official report on the human rights situation in Argentina they accuse their own country of violating human rights, to seek in this way, impunity for the crimes of multi-million dollar corruption of his previous Kirchner government,” the opposition leaders emphasized.
The country’s main opposition front expressed “to the United Nations that It is absolutely false that those accused and convicted of corruption have not had the right to defense, since all the corresponding judicial instances intervened in the processes, two for trial, two for appeal and in several cases, the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation” And they apologized on behalf of the country for the “lies”.
Cristina, Lawfare and hate speech: what the report says
In a title “Emerging issues: main challenges“, the report prepared by the Secretary of Human Rights makes a “call to attention” to the UN for the “hate speech” that have proliferated and what that implies for democratic coexistence.
“They have gained greater visibility in recent times due to the serious events that have occurred recently, which culminated in the attempted assassination of the current vice president of the Nation and twice president, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner“, says the document. According to the report, “it is a complex problem that constitutes a concern at the international level.”

“Another of the challenges facing our country is the phenomenon of ‘lawfare‘ or ‘legal warfare’. The current national government and the human rights movement warn that the practice of lawfare –promoted by sectors of the Judiciary, the political opposition and concentrated sectors of economic and media power– constitutes a practice that violates human rights and operates as a condition of electoral processes, the political agenda and public opinion,” the document underlines.
Regarding the cases involving the head of the Senate, the Secretariat pointed out that “fundamental guarantees of the rule of law are violated under the excuse of investigating and punishing acts of corruption.”
“Basic guarantees of due process are unknown, such as the presumption of innocence, the right to defense and the principle of objectivity that should guide the actions of the Public Prosecutor’s Office,” it adds.
In addition, the report ensures that criminal cases are promoted “only once morest political referents that represent popular sectors“.
