Nunca más
Nunca más (German: Never again ) was the name of a report prepared by the Comisión Nacional sobre la Desaparición de Personas ( National Commission on the Disappearance of Persons ) on people who disappeared without a trace during the time of the military dictatorship in Argentina (the " Desaparecidos ") ). In 1983/1984, the commission, headed by Ernesto Sabato, worked on the practice of violent and secret enforced disappearance of political opponents during the Argentine military dictatorship (1976-1983). It turned out that this practice was part of the so-called dirty war of the military. The final report presented on September 20, 1984 was also given the name of the leader, Informe Sabato .
The commission was created on December 15, 1983 by the President of Argentina Raúl Alfonsín (1927-2009). The aim was to educate people about what happened during the dictatorship that was established in 1976. The task was to collect news and information about the disappearances, kidnappings and torture perpetrated by the regime. Over a period of 280 days, relatives reported 8,961 disappearances. There are different estimates of unreported numbers.
