129. Along these same lines, the need for a comprehensive treatment of forced disappearance has also led this Court to analyze it as a complex, joint violation of several rights recognized in the American Convention through a compound set of behaviors that, exercised toward a single purpose, violate continuously, for as long as they persist, the legal rights protected by the Convention—in particular, the rights to recognition of juridical personality, life, personal integrity, and personal liberty, enshrined in Articles 3, 4, 5, and , respectively. 158 B.1. Forced disappearances of Victoria Lucía Grisonas Andrijauskaite and Mario Roger Julien Cáceres 130. In accordance with the determination of facts made in this Judgment, the Court recalls that the operation carried out on September 26, 1976, at the home of the Julien Grisonas family, in which members of the Argentine police and military forces participated, 159 took place during a period in which the forced disappearance of persons was a systematic practice undertaken in the context of "State terrorism" 160 (supra paras. 59 to 68 and 88 to 91). As Argentina explicitly indicated, these facts are not in dispute. 131. Thus, toward preservation of historical memory and the pressing need to prevent recurrence of such facts, 161 the Court highlights the context of systematic human rights violation that characterized the 1976-1983 period in Argentina, during which the "fight against subversion" took the form of both an internal policy of repression of the civilian population, and coordination with the dictatorial governments of other states, exercised within the framework of "Operation Condor," whose objective was the persecution and elimination of political opponents to the dictatorial regimes that ruled the Southern Cone at the time. 162 To this end, the coordination efforts opened effective channels of communication and joint work among the different investigative agencies and the State security forces, to the point of allowing foreign agents to operate in the territory of another State in order to carry out counterinsurgency actions. 163 132. The Argentine-Uruguayan coordination, deployed in the framework of Operation Condor, ended up—due to the number of victims and the effectiveness of the applied case no. 1574/2014/RH1, “Bignone, Reynaldo Benito Antonio et al. on extraordinary appeal”; Plurinational Constitutional Court of Bolivia, Constitutional Judgment No. 1190/01-R of November 12, 2001; Constitutional Court of the Republic of Colombia, Judgment C-580/02 of July 31, 2002; Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation of Mexico, Thesis: P./J. 87/2004, Forced disappearance of persons.
