Equipo Argentino de Antropología Forense

The Equipo Argentino de Antropología Forense (EAAF), or Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team, is a globally recognized organization dedicated to identifying the remains of victims of human rights abuses, particularly those who disappeared during Argentina's 1976-1983 military dictatorship. The EAAF employs forensic science techniques to locate, exhume, and identify bodies, providing closure to families and contributing to the pursuit of justice. They are newsworthy now due to the 50th anniversary of the coup that initiated the dictatorship. This anniversary has brought renewed focus on the atrocities committed during that period, including the systematic repression, torture, and disappearance of individuals. The EAAF's work remains crucial in identifying victims and providing answers to families who have long sought the truth about their loved ones. The recent publication of names of Spanish victims highlights the international scope of the dictatorship's impact and the ongoing need for the EAAF's expertise.
