Human Rights and International Security: The International Community and the Greek Dictators

The Greek junta was notorious for its use of state torture as a means of control. Yet, for most Western governments and organisations such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the United Nations (UN), Greece's geostrategic location was considered to be a higher priority than the undemocratic behaviour of the ‘Colonels’. This article seeks to synthesise existing historiography with new research in order to examine the complex and interconnected processes that led Western states and key international institutions to tolerate human-rights abuses in Greece in the face of huge protest from international public opinion. It will look at why Western states failed to explain away the ‘Greek case’, as they had done with Portugal and Spain, as an anomaly on the road to defeating a mortal enemy, the USSR, which was committing far more numerous violations. It will also consider why international opinion focused on Greece so intently. It will show how many in the West were lulled by the regime into believing that human-rights abusers can act as agents of stability and security. The article's footnotes aim to draw attention to the many primary and secondary sources that provide additional information on the issue of human-rights abuses by the Greek junta.     

Embodied knowledge of the Bolivian disappeared in Wara cajÍas and adriana montenegro’s desaparecidos (2008)

Until December 2016, the Bolivian government refused to declassify its military archives, which are believed to hold records of activities led during the consecutive dictatorships that lasted from 1964 to 1982. As these archives remained inaccessible, various Bolivian human rights organizations developed alternative tactics to give more visibility to this part of Bolivian history, and to induce Morales’s government into action. The film director Adriana Montenegro, the choreographer Wara Cajías, and the Asociación de Familiares Detenidos, Desaparecidos y Mártires por la Liberación Nacional de Bolivia (ASOFAMD) joined forces to develop one such alternative, and created the screendance Desaparecidos (2008). To evoke the embodied experience of the Bolivians that were tortured, assassinated and/or disappeared during the Hugo Banzer and Luis García Meza dictatorships, which took place between 1971 and 1982, Desaparecidos presents the body as the point of departure for the production of knowledge regarding the fates of the victims of the dictatorships. As a screendance though, it also experiments with the aesthetic principles of cinematographic language in order to enhance the premise of embodied experience as a system of knowledge production, and as a call to action for its viewers.
