Argentina continues to make significant progress prosecuting military and police personnel for enforced disappearances, killings, and torture during the country’s “dirty war” between 1976 and 1983. However, trials have been subject to delays.

Argentina adopted comprehensive legislation to regulate broadcast and print media in 2009. The impact of this legislation on freedom of expression will depend on how it is implemented by a new regulatory body. Argentina has yet to adopt legislation to regulate access to official information.

Significant ongoing human rights concerns include deplorable prison conditions, torture, and arbitrary restrictions on women’s reproductive rights.
