Argentina refuses to extradite criminal to Israel
Posted - 03/27/07 04:22
Citing technicalities, the Argentina Supreme Court has again refused the extradition request made by Israel to send back a convicted murderer and felon who escaped on a forged passport.
The Argentine Government today denied a request by the newly installed Paraguayan Government to extradite its former military chief. The former official is accused of having ordered the assassination of the Paraguayan Vice President.
Argentina refuses to extradite ex-junta leader for 'dirty war' crime
A criminal law court on Tuesday rejected Germany's extradition request for Videla, wanted in the March 1977 kidnapping and killing of activist Elisabeth Kaesemann. The court ruled crimes committed in Argentina are first subject to its judiciary
An Argentine court on Tuesday refused to extradite Chilean ex-guerrilla Sergio Apablaza Guerra, who is wanted in his country on charges of slaying a senator in 1991.
Federal Judge Claudio Bonadio issued his ruling on Monday and ordered Apablaza's immediate release on the grounds that he would not be assured due process if sent to Chile, noting that some of the requirements specified in extradition legislation had not been met.
@ 38 UK awarding “political asylum” to criminals. Links are everywhere.
Jun 11th, 2011 - 09:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Those links of yours are old, stick.
Apablaza can't be extradited to Chile because that's what Human Rights are made for, to protect people like Apablaza, change them if you don't like them, create different Human Rights that are likable to you.
But some Chileans accused Argentina of tarnishing its human rights legacy by defending a man accused of assassinating a sitting senator during a democratic government. Both crimes occurred in 1991, after the end of the 1973-1990 dictatorship of Gen. Augusto Pinochet.

Jun 12th, 2011 - 08:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0There are not many Latinos living in the colder parts of Argentina, it's mainly Northern Europeans. On the same basis that Argentina claims the Falkland Islands, we could claim Southern Argentina, after all we helped settle it and we built all the railways, we built towns and farms. Some of my Welsh ancestors set sail on the Candelaria to settle those lands almost 200 years ago, when I was there a few years back, they didn't seem to happy with the Argentine government and the hot headed morons who had run the country for the past 60+ years! It's time we liberated them, they told me they would welcome it! And much of Southern Argentina is closer to the Falkland Islands, than Buenos Aires. I think there would be a good case in the UN for decolonising Southern Argentina from the hot heads in Buenos Aires. We can then grand them independence as the Republic of Pategonia. Reducing the threat to the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands at the same time.
