...guilty judgment against Argentina's military rulers from 1976 to 1982, the country's civilian court sets an important example for all the other nations of Latin America [WORLD, Dec. 23]. The courageous actions of President Raul Alfonsin will make it more difficult for other democratic governments to avoid bringing to justice the perpetrators of human rights violations.
