Presentation before Argentine Ambassadors in American Countries

September / October 2020

Organized together with the team created within the Argentine Foreign Office to work on the candidacy, the presentation was divided in two days. Attendees included ambassadors and representatives from Argentine embassies in Chile, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Dominican Republic and Uruguay.

“The Argentine Foreign Office believes this candidacy is very important because it is framed within the Human Rights policies that are an essential part of the Argentine state’s foreign policy. The Museum has a unique feature: despite being the place where severe Human Rights violations were committed, it has been recreated as a place of life and it is very important that we give visibility to it.”

“I congratulate the team for the advances within the Work Plan of the candidacy. The region’s ambassadors must also join the effort to provide international visibility to this candidacy, which of course has our full support.”

RUBÉN JAVIER RUFFI
Ambassador in El Salvador

“We are committed to make all of the embassy’s resources available to drive support to the candidacy and define a strategy to increase international visibility of the issue.”

NORA ELIZABETH CAPELLO
Ambassador in the Dominican Republic

“Here in Paraguay there is also an interesting process of Memory, Truth and Justice going on, so we can consider a shared work agenda around these issues and the candidacy. We at the diplomatic representations offer our full support to the project.”

DOMINGO PEPPO
Ambassador in Paraguay

“I was at the site of the ESMA Museum and Site of Memory, and thinking about the dramatic events we have been through is certainly very painful. But we have learned something and this candidacy, which takes me back through that place in my mind, is a fundamental step.”

ALEJANDRO GARDELLA
Ambassador in Guyana

Together with the aforementioned, other participants included Juan José Castelli, ambassador in Honduras, Carlos Tomada, ambassador in Mexico, Marcelo Lucco, ambassador in Panama, and Mateo Daniel Capitanich, ambassador in Nicaragua.
