Entre el Derecho a la Identidad y la impunidad

Abstract

The article analyzes the tensions between the demands of Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo and the socio-political orientation of the State in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The right to identity was founded as a consequence of the participation of Abuelas in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989. The international treaty became then an unavoidable reference for all child restitution processes. The objective of the work is to examine the political and symbolic importance of the participation of Abuelas in the Convention on the Rights of the Child and to study how it impacted the judicial processes and sentences by appropriation
