The role of human rights in United States policy toward Latin America is the subject of this study. It covers the early sixties to 1980, a period when humanitarian values came to play an important role in determining United States foreign policy. The author is concerned both with explaining why these values came to impinge on government decision making and how internal bureaucratic processes affected the specific content of United States policy. Originally published in 1981.

The book provides a historical analysis of the human rights policy of the Organization of American States (OAS) between 1970 and1991. It offers new insights based on extensive research in archives and expert interviews in various countries. A description of the evolution of the inter-American system of human rights, especially the OAS human rights commission, is followed by an account of the human rights situation in the 1970s determined by military governments in the Southern Cone and U.S. president Jimmy Carter's vow to strengthen human rights. In the 1980s, the Central American civil wars and Ronald Reagan's anti-communism affected the human rights debate within the OAS. The author finally concludes by discussing whether the human rights policy of the OAS was successful or not, and whether the human rights issue was used as a tool for political ends. KLAAS DYKMANN, Institute of Comparative Overseas Studies in Hamburg, is a historian, political scientist, and human rights expert and the author of a forthcoming book on the European Union's policies toward Latin America.

Major political and economic events of the 1980s such as the international debt crisis, the 1982 Falklands War, the return to democratic rule in a number of countries, and the prolonged crisis in Central America, focused great attention on the U.S. and its dealings in Latin America. In this volume, experts from Latin America, the United States and Europe offer profound insights on the state of U.S.-Latin American relations, external debt and capital flows, trade relations, democracy, human rights, migration, and security during the 1980s.

This edited collection explores how contemporary Latin American cinema has dealt with and represented issues of human rights, moving beyond many of the recurring topics for Latin American films. Through diverse interdisciplinary theoretical and methodological approaches, and analyses of different audiovisual media from fictional and documentary films to digitally-distributed activist films, the contributions discuss the theme of human rights in cinema in connection to various topics and concepts. Chapters in the volume explore the prison system, state violence, the Mexican dirty war, the Chilean dictatorship, debt, transnational finance, indigenous rights, social movement, urban occupation, the right to housing, intersectionality, LGBTT and women’s rights in the context of a number of Latin American countries. By so doing, it assesses the long overdue relation between cinema and human rights in the region, thus opening new avenues to aid the understanding of cinema’s role in social transformation.
