- Contents Summary
- Part 2 of an interview with Mimi Doretti, Executive Director of the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team.|Since 1984, EAAF has applied the forensic sciences, particularly forensic anthropology and forensic archeology, to the investigation of human rights violations. The work requires a multi-disciplinary approach, involving genetics, ballistics, radiology, and computer sciences. Using these tools and techniques, EAAF exhumes bodies in order to establish the cause of death and to identify skeletal remains of victims. Through its work, EAAF assists the relatives of the victims to recover the remains of their disappeared loved ones. Moreover, it contributes to the historical reconstruction of atrocities that offending governments seek to minimize, hide, or deny. EAAF's investigations produce evidence of crimes that can be used in the courts and have proven critical in the pursuit of justice. Since 1986, EAAF has been asked by local or international human rights organizations, and/or the judiciary to assist with human rights investigations in: Chile, Bolivia, Paraguay, Brazil, Venezuela, Peru, Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Panama, Honduras, Haiti, The Philippines, Romania, Croatia, Iraqi Kurdistan, Ethiopia, French Polynesia, and South Africa.
