Colombia: memorial en derecho Amicus Curiae presentado por la CIJ ante la Corte Constitucional
La CIJ tiene el honor de someter a consideración de la Corte Constitucional de la República de Colombia el siguiente memorial en derecho Amicus Curiae.
Memorial en Derecho Leyes de Punto Final y Obediencia Debida presentado por AI y la CIJ: Capítulo I
Argentina: Amnistía Internacional y la CIJ han repetidamente expresado su preocupación sobre la incompatibilidad de algunas leyes.
Estas son Leyes Nº 23.492, de Punto Final de 12 de diciembre de 1986, y Nº 23.521, de Obediencia Debida de 4 de junio de 1987, de la República Argentina con el derecho internacional y, en particular, con la obligación de Argentina de enjuiciar y sancionar a los autores de graves violaciones a los derechos humanos. Estas leyes han servido hasta ahora para obstruir las investigaciones de miles de casos de víctimas de desapariciones forzadas, tortura y ejecuciones extrajudiciales cometidas durante los gobiernos militares de 1976 a 1983.

Argentina: amicus curiae brief on the incompatibility with international law of the full stop and due obedience laws
On June 1, 2001, the ICJ, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch presented an Amicus Curiae brief before Court II of the National Chamber for Federal Criminal and Correctional Matters of Argentina.
This submission concerned the incompatibility of the “Full Stop” and “Due Obedience” Laws with international human rights law and, in particular, with the obligation of Argentina to bring to justice and punish the perpetrators of gross violations of human rights.
The “Full Stop” and “Due Obedience” laws, veritable amnesties in disguise, confirmed the impunity surrounding the gross violations of human rights committed under the Argentine military dictatorship (1976-1983).
As the United Nations Human Rights Committee has stated, these laws “have impeded investigations into allegations of crimes committed by the armed forces and agents of national security services and have been applied even in cases where there exists significant evidence of such gross human rights violations”.
