Abstract

This article discusses the history of human rights activism in Uruguay during the country's dictatorship from the late 1960s to the early 1980s. The author, Debbie Sharnak, examines the role of human rights advocates and their connections with international organizations such as Amnesty International. The article also explores how U.S. foreign policy towards Uruguay was influenced by human rights concerns, particularly during the Carter administration. Sharnak's study highlights the complexity of human rights activism and the evolving nature of human rights discourse over time. [Extracted from the article]
