The Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team is nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize
The nomination was submitted by Karina Batthyány, Executive Secretary of the Latin American Council of Social Sciences (CLACSO), and Alejandro Villar, Rector of the National University of Quilmes (UNQ), Argentina.
It is because of the work of the EAAF in the field of applied science to know the truth and collaborate with justice.
The Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team (EAAF) is a scientific, non-governmental, non-profit organization, founded in Argentina in 1984.
Its creation was encouraged by the Human Rights Organizations of Argentina to search for, recover, identify and return the victims of forced disappearance in the country between 1974 and 1983. It then had the support of the American anthropologist Clyde Snow.
The EAAF formed a pioneering group of specialists who develop scientific techniques in the fields of Social Anthropology, Archaeology, Forensic Anthropology, Computer Science, and Genetics.
Her work has a global reach: she has worked in more than 60 countries with victims of enforced disappearances; ethnic, political, institutional, gender and religious violence; current disappearances; drug trafficking; human trafficking, organized crime, migration processes; wars and armed conflicts; accidents and catastrophes.
Their work is based on the principles of Human Rights, international humanitarian law and, fundamentally, on respect for the individual and collective right to identity, truth and justice.
For its work in the field of science applied to “truth and justice”, Karina Batthyány, Executive Secretary of the Latin American Council of Social Sciences (CLACSO), and Alejandro Villar, Rector of the National University of Quilmes (UNQ), Argentina, proposed the EAAF as a candidate for the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize.
We call upon all those who stand in solidarity with the defense of Human Rights to join this petition.
