El Mozote Represents Absolute Impunity: CEJIL
In the following August 2011 interview with the Central America and Mexico Judicial Director of the Center
for Justice and International Law (CEJIL), Gisela de Len, and the Salvadoran digital paper La Pagina, De
Len explains the case against the Salvadoran state in the Inter-American Human Rights Court for the El
Mozote Massacre in 1981. CEJIL represents the victims of the El Mozote Massacre, and has also argued the
Romero case and other cases of crimes against humanity in the Organization of American States system.
How does CEJIL get involved in this case against Salvadoran government for the El Mozote massacre?
We came to the case several years ago and it was presented to the Inter-American Commission of Human
Rights in 1990 by Tutela Legal of the Archdiocese of San Salvador.
We (CEJIL) got involved around 2000 at the request of Tutela Legal, and since then, we have worked
together.
In 2006 the Inter-American Commission of Human Rights (IACHR) admitted the case and in November
2010 made recommendations that the State should have met. When they didn't fulfill these, the Commission
had the power to send the case to the Court of Human Rights (higher court) on March 8, 2011.
What direction will the lawsuit against the Salvadoran State take, this August 14?
I should clarify that the Court has no jurisdiction to rule on the facts of the massacre, and can speak only
about the lack of justice. El Salvador accepted the jurisdiction of the Court on June 6, 1995 and only after
that date the Court may rule in the case of the slaughter of El Mozote, the Amnesty Law is applied in 1993
and since that time there has not been a single diligence aimed at establishing the truth of what happened.
There were some steps for exhumations and to deliver the bodies to relatives, but there has been no state
activity in terms of investigating the facts. Tutela Legal in 2006 requested a reopening of investigations and
yet, five years later, that request has not been addressed.
The case (demand) has to do with the lack of justice, with absolute inactivity of the Salvadoran government
to establish the truth of what happened in the massacre, identify and punish those responsible and of course
this involves (and passes through) Amnesty Law and other violations that occurred over time (1995, date onwhich the Court has jurisdiction in the case) as the displacement of 690 people after the massacre).
All these facts will be made to the knowledge of the Court.
Now that the political scene has changed with the arrival of the FMLN government, what does CEJIL
expect with this demand?
This is not the first case we will litigate with this government. We litigated the Contreras case (forced
disappearance) and saw a change of attitude of (the) government in relation to what we saw in the previous
governments, accepting the facts and most of the recommendations.
The massacre of El Mozote represents the absolute impunity that all cases from the conflict are in.
We hope that there is a position of opening to reparations for the victims and more general measures.
But in 2010, the Salvadoran state, with a new government, didn't comply with the Commission's
recommendations. What makes you have new expectations now?
The recommendations are from November 2010, and at that time the state had three months to fulfill them...
The truth is, they did nothing.
In the Contreras case, more or less the same thing happened: the state didn't fulfill the recommendations
during the three month period, and the state requested an extension and didn't fulfill (the recommendations)
even in that extension period; however, the state's atitude facing the Court was to accept the facts and accept
the recommendations, the reparations that we are asking for.What we don't know is whether these recommendations will be fulfilled. What we have seen in this
administration is a change of discourse.

Does this mean that in their discources, they accept the facts, but in taking action, they're the same (as
previous governments)?
Yes. We havne't seen advances in the adoption of concrete measures. For example, the government created
the National Commission for the Search of Missing Children during the Armed Conflict with the
characteristics that the Court had said in the case of the Serrano Cruz sisters, but the Commission has no
budget.
In the end, its the same thing.
We hope for a change of attitude in this regard, but we have no certainty that it will be so.
CEJIL affirmed that it would force the Salvadoran state to repeal the amnesty law, or otherwise, not
apply it in the case of El Mozote?
Yes. What the Commission recommended and what we've been pushing for in the case is not to apply the
Amnesty Law to serious human rights violations because it is incompatible with the American Convention
on Human Rights.
The Court has procedures for asking from time to time that the Salvadoran state provide information about
what it is doing to fulfill the recommendations, and if it doens't fulfill them, to be called back to a hearing.
In addition, the Salvadoran state would go against the attitude of other states in the region.
The Atlacatl Battalion, according to the Truth Commission report, perpetrated the massacre, but in
this scenario, what role does the U.S. government have, who funded, trained and supervised the
Salvadoran army?
I should clarify that other battalions were involved, including the Air Force. When we litigate, we seek
justice in connection with the participation of everyone involved.
We could not demand responsibility of the U.S. government as such, but had specific persons been involved,
an investigation implies identifying and punishing all those responsible.
What value do you make of the recent statements by Attorney General of the Republic on the AmnestyLaw?
I think the prosecutor is misinformed, in fact, there is already a resolution of the Constitutional Chamber of
the Supreme Court in 2001, which says that the Amnesty Law does not apply to gross violations of human
rights. That is to say, that law cannot be an argument to avoid prosecution.
The challenge in El Mozote is to establish a mechanism so that what the Supreme Court in El Salvador has
established be applied. That is what we seek.
What happens to those soldiers who argue that they were only following orders?
All people that were involved have to be processed. "Due Obedience," a legal figure, does not apply in such
cases, especially when the victims were civilians, and specifically in El Mozote, which were children.
Cold blooded murder has no justification.

The Truth of El Mozote
Mark Danner, The New Yorker
The following is a short excerpt from an in-depth article about El Mozote.
Read the entire story at http://www.markdanner.com/articles/show/the_truth_of_el_mozote.
In a remote corner of El Salvador, investigators uncovered the remains of a horrible crime a crime that
Washington had long denied. The villagers of El Mozote had the misfortune to find themselves in the path of
the Salvadoran Armys anti-Communist crusade. The story of the massacre at El Mozote how it cameabout, and why it had to be denied stands as a central parable of the Cold War.
For eleven years, Rufina Amaya Mrquez had served the world as
the most eloquent witness of what had happened at El Mozote, but
though she had told her story again and again, much of the world
had refused to believe her. In the polarized and brutal world of
wartime El Salvador, the newspapers and radio stations simply
ignored what Rufina had to say, as they habitually ignored
unpalatable accounts of how the government was prosecuting the
war against the leftist rebels.
In the United States, however, Rufinas account of what had happened at El Mozote appeared on the front
pages of the Washington Post and the New York Times, at the very moment when members of Congress were
bitterly debating whether they should cut off aid to a Salvadoran regime so desperate that it had apparently
resorted to the most savage methods of war. El Mozote seemed to epitomize those methods, and in
Washington the story heralded what became perhaps the classic debate of the late Cold War: between those
who argued that, given the geopolitical stakes in Central America, the United States had no choice but to go
on supporting a friendly regime, however disreputable it might seem, because the alternative the
possibility of another Communist victory in the region was clearly worse, and those who insisted that the
country must be willing to wash its hands of what had become a morally corrupting struggle. Rufinas story
came to Washington just when the countrys paramount Cold War national-security concerns were clashing
as loudly and unambiguously as they ever would during four decades with its professed high-minded
respect for human rights.
In the United States, the free press was not to be denied: El Mozote was reported; Rufinas story was told; the
angry debate in Congress intensified. But then the Republican Administration, burdened as it was with the
heavy duties of national security, denied that any credible evidence existed that a massacre had taken place;
and the Democratic Congress, after denouncing, yet again, the murderous abuses of the Salvadoran regime,
in the end accepted the Administrations certification that its ally was nonetheless making a significant
effort to comply with internationally recognized human rights. The flow of aid went on, and soon increased.
By early 1992, when a peace agreement between the government and the guerrillas was finally signed,
Americans had spent more than four billion dollars funding a civil war that had lasted twelve years and left
seventy-five thousand Salvadorans dead. By then, of course, the bitter fight over El Mozote had largely been
forgotten; Washington had turned its gaze to other places and other things. For most Americans, El Salvador
had long since slipped back into obscurity. But El Mozote may well have been the largest massacre in
modern Latin-American history. That in the United States it came to be known, that it was exposed to the
light and then allowed to fall back into the dark, makes the story of El Mozote how it came to happen and
how it came to be denied a central parable of the Cold War.

El Mozote to be Heard in Inter-American Human Rights Court
SHARE Blog
In March 2011, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IAHCR), finding that the Salvadoran
State has not fulfilled it's recommendations in the case of theMassacres of El Mozote and Neighboring
Locales, El Salvador, introduced the case in the Inter-American Human Rights Court. This will be the first
time that an international tribunal will rule on the General Amnesty Law.
Santiago Canton, General Secretary of the IAHCR, said of the case: The El Mozote massacre was one of
the greatest tragedies that El Salvador and our region suffered. In honor of the victims, their families and all
Salvadorans, we hope that the murderers of almost one thousand people can be brought to justice, and that
the Amnesty Law will be repealed.
CEJIL, the Center for International Justice and Law, will represent the victims and argues that this is not
about reopening old wounds, these were wounds that never healed, there was never a process of
reconciliation, the victims never felt that they received reparations.
The IAHCR summarizes the events at El Mozote and the surrounding area:
"The Massacres of El Mozote and Neighboring Locales, El Salvador, has to do with successive massacres
committed between December 11 and 13, 1981...carried out by the Atlacatl Battalion... in the department of
Morazn. The massacres, committed indiscriminately and with
extreme cruelty, left around a thousand people dead, including
many children, and constituted one of the most aberrant
manifestations of crimes against humanity committed at
that time by theSalvadoran military.
These events took place during the bloodiest period of the so-called "counterinsurgency" operations that were deployed on a
massive scale against civilians by the Salvadoran army during
the armed conflict, in open disregard of the most basic
principles of international human rights law and international humanitarian law. These types of
actions, committed in a systematic and generalized manner, were intended to sow terror among the
population. Due to the application of the General Amnesty Law for Consolidation of the Peace, as well as
repeated omissions on the part of the Salvadoran State, these grave acts remain in impunity."

Shedding Light on Humanity's Dark Side
Alma Guillermoprieto
Alma Guillermoprieto was, along with Ray Bonner, one of the first journalists to expose the El Mozote story.
After Rufina Amayas death in March 2007, she wrote this piece for The Washington Post. The following is
an excerpt from this piece; read the full article at:http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-
dyn/content/article/2007/03/13/AR2007031301826.html .
Traveling only by night and on foot through government-controlled territory, I reached the guerrilla-held
region of El Mozote... There were, in fact, bodies everywhere--children, men, women, draft animals -- and
the air reeked.
I was taken to see Rufina Amaya, a small-boned woman in her thirties, dressed like any campesina in a skirt
and short-sleeved blouse, a frilly apron and plastic sandals, and with a face that seemed to have turned to
stone. In precise detail she told me the same story she would repeat throughout the years, and that forensic
evidence would confirm a decade later.
An army officer who was a friend of her husband's, she said, had told the villagers early in December not to
worry about a coming offensive against the guerrillas, because El Mozote, which had a large evangelical
population, was not known to be subversivo, or subversive.
The troops arrived the following day and, after an initial brutal search, told the villagers that they could
return to their homes. "We were happy then," Seora Amaya recalled. " 'The repression is over,' we said."
But the troops returned. Acting on orders, they separated the villagers into groups of men, young girls, and
women and children. Rufina Amaya managed to slip behind some trees as her group was being herded to the
killing ground, and from there she witnessed the murders, which went on until late at night. An army officer,
told by an underling that a soldier was refusing to kill children, said, "Where is the sonofabitch who said
that? I am going to kill him," and bayoneted a child on the spot. She heard her own children crying out forher as they met their deaths. The troops herded people into the church and houses facing a patch of grass that
served as the village plaza. They shot the villagers or dismembered them with machetes, then set the
structures on fire. At last, believing they had killed all the citizens of El Mozote and the surrounding hamlets,
the troops withdrew.
The problem was that the subsistence farmers who died at El Mozote and in the surrounding villages were
simply fodder in one of the last battles of the Cold War. What was at stake in believing Rufina Amaya's
testimony, along with Susan Meiselas's photographs and our firsthand reports, was the Reagan
administration's continued support for the Salvadoran government.
In congressional hearings and to the press, high-level officials roundly denied that any atrocity had taken
place...
The massacre at El Mozote remained a disputed fact until a peace treaty was signed between the government
and the guerrillas of El Salvador in 1992. In the face of strong government opposition, members of the
Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team were appointed by a U.N. truth commission to excavate the zone,
and exhumation work continued until 2004. As far as is known, this was the single largest massacre to take
place in this hemisphere in modern times.
Having pumped tens of millions of dollars into the Salvadoran military, the U.S. government paid a fractionof the amount for the reconstruction effort once the war ended. And Rufina Amaya, a small, dark-skinned
peasant woman, who had no other weapon but her fierce will to live and to keep alive the memory of what
she saw one vile day, is dead of a stroke at the age of 64. She will be remembered in El Salvador because she
is now part of its history. She is part of the history of this country, too.

Echos of Impunity: From Monseor Romero to Radio Victoria
The following is an excerpt from a talk given by Mirna Perla, Supreme Court Magistrate and long-time
human rights activists about Monseor Romero and Impunity, relating impunity of the past to ongoing
human rights violations.
Monseor Romero was a simple man with the vocation of a prophet and a martyr. I had the good fortune to
know him from a very young age. He was our parish priest. My mom was a very religious woman, alwayspraying, and followed his every word.
In the context of a country filled with political fervor, Monseor Romero never opted for one political party
or another.He was a servant of God, and he came to realize that a servant of God puts himself at the service
of the people. The rich declared him a traitor. They attacked him, defamed him, and even killed him. This
crime remains unpunished in the Salvadoran courts of justice, and before the Interamerican Human Rights
Commission, whose recommendations the government has yet to fulfill.
If we analyze what is happening in this country, we see that the threats Monseor Romero received are not a
thing of the past, but continue in the present. Just ask our friends from Radio Victoria. They are receiving
threats that say, Ya le vamos a matar, We are going to kill you now and these threats are not a joke or in
vain. They are very serious threats. They have already killed various environmental activists. Marcelo Rivera
was persecuted, threatened, and suffered attempts against his life leading up to his killing. And all this with
the National Civilian Police present in the region. Marcelo Rivera was kidnapped, disappeared, and his body
tortured. He was a tall, strong man, a member of the organized pueblo. His body was found at the bottom of a
well twenty days after he was kidnapped. Clearly they wanted him to disappear.
One of the courts specializing in organized crime took Marcelo Riveras case. However, like the case of
Monseor Romeros assassination, it was never truly investigated. Groups of people that could have been
linked to the case, people who were probably out drinking, celebrating that night, were never questioned. Just
like Monseor Romero, Marcelo Rivera was a man committed to the people, a servant of the people, and justlike Monseor Romero, Marcelo Rivera was persecuted.
Monseor Romero was not only killed by forces internal to El Salvador, but by the empire.
Monseor Romero wrote a letter to President Jimmy Carter, denouncing the aid sent by the empire, saying
that this aid will be used to assassinate many people. With this letter he told the empire, You are the violator
of human rights. The empire backed the systematic violation of human rights here in El Salvador, in which
they killed even our Pastor. But the Salvadoran people have brought Monseor Romero back to life.
Everyone listened to Monseor Romeros Masses. They tried many times to bomb the Archdioceses radio
station, to silence his voice, but each time the people helped expand the reach of his voice, the voice of thepeople. The people were Monseor Romeros teacher. Above all he was a man of faith who listened to the
people and illuminated the injustice they faced with the light of the gospel and of the Latin American
preferential option for the poor, an option he showed with his life. He worked to rescue the dignity of the
lives of the people.
I have traveled to many countries, working to denounce human rights violations all over Central America and
I have found Monseor Romero alive in the work of young people all over the world. And yet we still have
not found peace in El Salvador. There have been many changes, the position the present government has
taken is very exciting. I am sorry to say though that apology is not enough. We need justice, we need truth,
we need reconciliation.
Here in El Salvador we have an amnesty law that many experts consider an impunity law. This law
contradicts international laws and conventions El Salvador has signed. Through this law, victims are denied
access to justice. We currently have a Constitutional Court of Justice committed to responsibly filling their
7/29/2019 SHARE El Salvador El Mozote Resource Guide
8/9
role as the maximum authority on the constitutionality of Salvadoran laws. In our Legislative Assembly
getting a simple majority to overturn the amnesty law would be incredibly complex. Meanwhile, the assassins
live peacefully here in El Salvador and internationally. Many of them own a lot of money. We dont know,
however if their consciences let them be at peace.
During the war the police and other members of the death squads put on their civilian clothes and went out to
kill the best sons and daughters of El Salvador, to decapitate them, remove their fingernails, and use all kinds
of sophisticated torture techniques. They were not new techniques the empire is not creative in that. Today
the same kind of torture used systematically here in El Salvador continues at Guantanamo. There was a study
done at the prison in Mariona, identifying the torture techniques used systematically in El Salvador, in which
political prisoners drew pictures of the ways they were tortured. They identified forty torture techniques.
They were the same depicted in the prisons in Iraq and the same used at Guantanamo. Torture techniques
described in old CIA manuals.
Here in El Salvador the judicial branch has made some reasonable advances, but they have not been able to
overcome impunity. We need to organize lawyers, communities, organizations to fight for human rights, to
demand justice. This is a task we need to do here in our own country. Various international entities have
issued declarations in the case of Monsignor Romeros assassination, but the Salvadoran state has failed its
duty to investigate. In El Salvador justice is unfinished, unresolved, justice is waiting. We need true justice tobring reconciliation. The highest reason for a government to exist is to protect the lives of human beings and
to promote life with dignity.
