Juan Garc\u00e9s is the man behind the arrest, 26 years ago, of former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet. He spoke about this battle, which paved a new path for justice in the pursuit of the gravest crimes\u2014a path that is more relevant and necessary than ever.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Juan Garc\u00e9s is an admirer of Montesquieu. He likes to recall that in 1721, the Enlightenment thinker wrote in his <em>Persian Letters<\/em>: &#8220;I always tremble that in the end, someone may discover some secret that provides a quicker way to annihilate men, destroy peoples, and entire nations.&#8221; However, Montesquieu believed in the power of the <em>law of nations<\/em>, which he thought would &#8220;forbid such a fatal discovery.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Nearly three centuries later, this hope first gave birth to the Nuremberg Tribunal and, after the Cold War, led to the creation of international criminal tribunals, most notably the International Criminal Court (ICC). This institution embodied the promise of greater respect for humanitarian law, ending impunity for the gravest crimes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The tenacity and courage of victims<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Today, we must admit that the momentum once thought to be unstoppable has fallen short of expectations. After 22 years and a budget of two billion dollars, the ICC has issued only six convictions for international crimes, while many others remain unpunished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Does this mean that the universal defense of human rights, a legacy of the Enlightenment, can only remain a promise? Juan Garc\u00e9s is living proof that this is not the case. He has shown that another path to justice exists, one that also relies on national courts and the tenacity and courage of victims, supported by independent lawyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A long-running investigation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">As a former personal advisor to President Salvador Allende, Garc\u00e9s was with him during the attack on <em>La Moneda Palace<\/em> on September 11, 1973. He managed to escape and return to France, where he worked as a research fellow at Sciences Po Paris, before returning to Spain in 1982.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">The investigation and trial for the 1976 assassination of Orlando Letelier, Allende&#8217;s former ambassador to the United States, in Washington provided the first incriminating evidence against Pinochet and proof of a criminal regime in Chile. The FBI spent years investigating this murder and established the responsibility of the head of Chile\u2019s secret police, General Contreras, alongside an American national and Cuban exiles who carried out the crime. The mystery remains, however, as to the degree of knowledge that &nbsp;the then director of the CIA at the time, George H.W. Bush, had about the preparation and execution of this very first terrorist act (as established by the courts) on American soil by a foreign state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">This American connection also helped Garc\u00e9s to establish political contacts within the Democratic Party, support that proved crucial when ensuring that President Clinton\u2019s administration would not oppose &nbsp;the pursuit of Pinochet once the case came to light. This contrasts starkly with the role played by President Nixon\u2019s Republican administration, especially his national security advisor, Henry Kissinger, in the Chilean coup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Seeking to be heard by justice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Leading a multinational team of ten lawyers, Garc\u00e9s documented over 3,000 cases of killings, forced disappearances, and torture of nationals from various countries under Pinochet&#8217;s regime. Dozens of victims traveled to Spain to testify. \u201cIn Chile, the doors of the courts were closed to victims,\u201d Garc\u00e9s said. \u201cThese victims didn\u2019t want money; they just wanted to be heard by justice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">In 1985, a Spanish law allowed victims of genocide, terrorism, and torture\u2014regardless of nationality and where the crimes were committed\u2014to seek justice in Spanish courts under the principles of universal jurisdiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">On July 4, 1996, Garc\u00e9s filed a criminal complaint in Madrid against Pinochet and other junta leaders for crimes against humanity. However, the arrest warrant could only be issued once Pinochet was in a country with a strong judiciary and solid legal mechanisms. That country would be the United Kingdom, just two years later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">On October 16, 1998, while travelling to London for surgery, Pinochet was apprehended and put under house arrest following an international warrant issued at the request of Spanish judge Baltasar Garz\u00f3n based on the evidence and testimonies his team had gathered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A long legal battle<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">This marked the first time a former head of state was arrested under the principle of universal jurisdiction. The international impact was enormous, and the legal ramifications profound. &#8220;Coalitions&#8221; formed, with some countries opposing or supporting extradition. Among the latter were Switzerland, France, and Belgium. Courts in these three countries also requested Pinochet\u2019s extradition, based on the nationality of the victims, enabling a possible trial in these countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">On March 24, 1999, after a long legal battle, the UK\u2019s House of Lords ruled that Pinochet could not invoke immunity for criminal acts, paving the way for his extradition, which was granted on October 8, 1999, by the Bow Street Magistrates Court in London. However, after becoming a political issue, the extradition would never take place. The British government halted the process and ordered Pinochet\u2019s release in March 2000, citing health reasons based on medical evidence that concluded he was suffering from senile dementia and unfit for trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">The intense lobbying of Spain\u2019s conservative government under Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Aznar, who was in power at the time, played a role in this political decision. As the crimes of the Franco regime had never been tried in Spain, it was hard to imagine a trial for international crimes against one of Franco\u2019s admirers, Pinochet, taking place in Madrid for months. Such a trial would have also put Franco\u2019s regime on trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The &#8220;Pinochet Effect&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">Pinochet was never extradited. However, when he returned to Chile as a free man, he found a country that had changed profoundly. His arrest became a catalyst for a significant shift in the willingness and ability of Chilean courts to address the long-standing demands for justice from the dictatorship\u2019s victims. Since 2000, Chilean courts have delivered verdicts in more than 500 cases of crimes against humanity and handed down over 200 convictions. Pinochet himself was declared fit to stand trial and was indicted shortly before his death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">In 2005, Garc\u00e9s successfully secured over $8 million in compensation from Riggs Bank, known as &#8220;the American Presidents\u2019 bank&#8221; where hundreds of accounts linked to Pinochet were identified. This money went to over 22,000 victims of the Chilean military regime. One of Pinochet\u2019s victims, who became a university professor in the U.S., framed the settlement and check in his living room \u2013 a reminder and symbol of the fact that he survived the dictatorship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify wp-block-paragraph\">After Pinochet\u2019s return to Chile, many wondered, \u201cWho will be the next Pinochet?\u201d On May 30, 2016, former Chadian President Hiss\u00e8ne Habr\u00e9 was sentenced to life imprisonment for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and torture by the Extraordinary African Chambers in Senegalese courts. The Pinochet case marked a turning point in international justice, profoundly changing its landscape. It represented significant progress in the fight against impunity and justified the need for universal jurisdiction in international crimes. Most importantly, it demonstrated that justice can be sought elsewhere, wherever legal avenues exist, and that this extraterritorial justice can sometimes break the vicious circle of impunity even in the countries where the crimes were committed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">T<em>he article first appeared in French on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.heidi.news\/monde\/l-affaire-pinochet-le-combat-de-juan-garces-contre-l-impunite\">Heidi News<\/a>&nbsp;on the 16th of October, 2024<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Photo: William Thayer and Augusto Pinochet Ugarte.
