Emilio Fermin Mignone (born July 23, 1922 in Luján , Argentina, † December 21, 1998 in Buenos Aires ) was an Argentine lawyer and founder of the Center for Law and Social Sciences.

Life

The son of a businessman and a teacher attended the school of the Marista brothers in Luján and studied law at the University of Buenos Aires. During the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) he was president of the Acción Católica Argentina and published the newspaper Antorcha (torch).

Mignone has worked for the Argentine Ministry of Justice since President Juan Perón's first term in office . He was a devout Catholic and ardent Peronist. He was connected to the constitutional lawyer Arturo Sampay , the father of the Reforma constitucional argentina de 1949 . Between 1949 and 195 he was general director of the provincial schools between. During this time he married the teacher Paula Angelica Sosa ("Chela"), with whom he had five children.

Then in the early 1960s in Washington, DC, as a specialist in educational policy for the Organization of American States .

In 1973 he became the founding rector of the Universidad Nacional de Luján in his hometown. In 1976 he retired and wrote civic education textbooks.

In May 1976, two months after the military coup began , a group of armed men entered his home and arrested his 24-year-old daughter Mónica. Despite an intensive search and numerous discussions with the government and the military, he and his wife never saw their daughter again. As they later learned, the men were members of the Argentine Navy. To support the search for his daughter and the many other Desaparecidos, Mignone founded the Centro de Estudios Legales y Sociales (CELS; Center for Law and Social Sciences ) in 1979 , which also kept detailed records of thousands of disappearances, kidnappings, torture and murder . The center also provides legal assistance to victims and their families. From April 1977 to December 1978 they investigated the Perez de Smith cases . Mignone led public awareness campaigns and worked with foreign governments and international human rights organizations, including the United Nations Human Rights Commission, to keep the human rights situation in Argentina a global concern. When he and five other directors of the center were arrested and their offices raided in February 1981, international protests resulted in their release a week later. Most recently, he held a post at the Comisión Nacional de Evaluación y Acreditación Universitaria .

His wife became a founding member of the Madres de Plaza de Mayo , a group of mothers of the disappeared who hold weekly vigils for their children in a square across from the presidential palace.

When the plan was to demolish the Escuela de Mecánica de la Armada (ESMA) in 1998 , Mignone took part in demonstrations against this plan. ESMA later became a museum of remembrance.

His successor at CELS, Horacio Verbitsky , later claimed (around 2013) that Mignone was of the opinion that Bergoglio was an accomplice in the military.
