Below, we have assembled a collection of useful websites dealing with Argentina's and Chile's years of military dictatorship and subsequent efforts to pursue justice and reconciliation.

Argentina

Project Disappeared: An ambitious, cooperative effort involving many human rights organizations from around the world to document the disappeared and pursue justice on their behalf. Along with Argentina, the site includes a page on Chile.

The Vanished Gallery: The Desaparecidos of Argentina: A good introduction to the events in Argentina, including a list of victims, perpetrators, and an overview of the country's truth commission.

Chile

Derechos Chile: An excellent clearing-house for information related to human rights in Chile today.

Ariel Dorfman's Blog: It's updated very rarely, but Dorfman, a Chilean-American scholar and playwright, offers great personal insight into Chile, past and present.

Pinochet: Villain to Some, Heroes to Others: A good post-mortem on Pinochet's divisive period of rule.

Allende and Pinochet: A useful collection of links dealing with the two major political figures of late 20th century Chile.
