The Court observes that, during the 1970s, in absolute contradiction to the principal objects and purposes of the organization of the international community established universally in the Charter of the United Nations,25 and the regional community in the Charter of the Organization of American States26 and the American Convention itself, the intelligence services of several countries of the Southern Cone of the Americas established a criminal inter-State organization with a complex assemblage, the scope of which is still being revealed today; in other words, there was a systematic practice of “State terrorism” at an inter-State level. This operation also benefited from the general situation of impunity of the grave human rights violations that existed at the time, promoted and tolerated by the absence of judicial guarantees and the ineffectiveness of the judicial institutions to deal with or contain the systematic human rights violations.
