Inter-American Court - Case of Maidanik and others v. Uruguay
In the Judgment of the Case of Maidanik and others v. Uruguay, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights declared the State of Uruguay internationally responsible for the violations of different human rights, to the detriment of Luis Eduardo González González and Óscar Tassino Asteazú (victims of forced disappearances that began during the dictatorship that Uruguay suffered between 1973 and 1985), and their families. It also determined Uruguay's international responsibility for human rights violations to the detriment of the relatives of Diana Maidanik, Silvia Reyes and Laura Raggio (executed by the military at the same time). More than three decades later, the entire truth about what happened is not known nor have all criminal responsibilities for these events been determined.
