Estrategias de las madres de la plaza de mayo y sus aplicabilidad en caso de desaparición forzada en Colombia

Abstract

The problematic core "The search for truth: strategies of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo (Argentina) and their applicability in cases of forced disappearance in Colombia" addresses the fundamental role played by the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo in the fight for justice and truth during the military dictatorship in Argentina (1976-1983). These women, faced with the disappearance of their children and loved ones, organized themselves to demand answers and justice from the Argentine government. Through marches, international denunciations and the creation of a collective memory, the Mothers managed to make the atrocities committed visible and pressure for the opening of investigations. Their strategy, based on persistence, solidarity and public visibility, has been a reference for other movements in the world, especially in Latin America. In the Colombian context, the phenomenon of forced disappearance has also been a serious problem, especially during the internal armed conflict, which has left thousands of people missing. The analysis of the strategies of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo can be key for the relatives of victims of forced disappearance in Colombia, as it shows the importance of social organization and international visibility. The Mothers, with their tireless struggle, managed to expose human rights violations and contributed to the creation of legal spaces for justice. Therefore, the strategies they used could be applied in Colombia, strengthening the demand for truth, justice and reparation for victims of forced disappearances in that country. This analysis reflects how the experiences of other social movements can inspire and guide legal and political actions in similar contexts.
