Carta Abierta de Adolfo Perez Esquivel
Impunity in Argentina:
An open letter by Nobel Peace Prize Laureate
Adolfo Perez Esquivel
This letter was sent on Fri, 5 May 1995 to the mailing list argentina@journal.math.indiana.edu by serpaj@wamani.apc.org (Servicio. de Paz y Justicia) It is a transcript of an open letter written by Peace Nobel Laureate and Argentine writer, Adolfo Perez Esquivel in response to a public mea-culpa declaration of the current Argentine Chief of Staff, General Martin Balza. General Balza who didn't participate directly in the repression as he was stationed abroad during that era, called for "closing and healing the wounds" for the future of Argentina, and said that "we are almost all to blame" for what happened during the "dirty war". Esquivel responds that such declarations are a first step but are not sufficient. He point out that there was no "war" in Argentina, but rather a genocide of thousands of defenseless people. That it is impossible to pardon the military when the executive government puts itself above the law by pardoning all those who were indicted by a just judicial process. Also, he reiterates the demand to know the truth from the executive branch and the military forces: Where are the disappeared? How did they disappear? Who comitted the atrocities? Questions that are yet to be answered officially.

Adolfo Perez Esquivel wants alternative to war
Hadas Ragolsky / Berkeley Daily Planet 15oct01
Adolfo Perez Esquivel, an Argentine who won the 1980 Nobel Peace Prize urged students and others who gathered to hear his lecture Wednesday afternoon at Stephens Hall in UC Berkeley to be active in seeking alternatives to war. “It’s hard to talk about peace when it seems the world is falling apart,” Esquivel said in Spanish with a translator working at his side. “Let’s be realists. We should demand the impossible. We have to make possible what seems impossible.” Esquivel, who was invited by the Center for Latin America Studies and others, was originally to give a global view of human rights but instead talked about the U.S. attacks against Afghanistan. Expressing his solidarity with the United States, Esquivel emphasized the need to reflect on the causes of this conflict. On the same day as the attacks in New York and Washington DC , 35,650 children died of hunger and nutrition. “But with that action nobody got upset,” he said. “None of the countries had moved, the [United Nations] didn’t set a resolution, the Pope didn’t say anything. What’s happening in our society, what happening to us human being?” Following his own tradition, Esquivel joined other Latin American’s Nobel Laureates earlier this week at a session of meetings with UN officials, including Secretary-General Kofi Annan and the president of the UN assembly Dr. Han Seung-Soo in New York.

Adolfo Perez Esquivel
by Melody Lentz
    "To create this new society, we must present outstretched and friendly hands, without hatred and rancor, even as we show great determination and never waver in the defense of truth and justice. Because we know that we cannot sow seeds with clenched fists. To sow we must open our hands."
On October 13, 1980 a man unknown to most of the world stepped up to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. He received it "in the name of the poorest and smallest of my brothers and sister because they are the most beloved of God." Adolfo Perez Esquivel worked for peace in Latin America for years by coordinating nonviolent groups to work together toward common goals. A sculptor and painter by profession, Esquivel, from Argentina, became active in Latin America nonviolence movements in the 1960s and 1970s. As a child, he admired peace heroes like Mahatama Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. As an adult, he desired to put his faith into action as he had seen these men do. In the early 1970s, he traveled to Ecuador, Bolivia, Paraguay, Brazil, and Honduras to work for peace with local movements, often aiding poor peasants in their struggles against the large landowners. In 1976, he was arrested in Ecuador and expelled from the country during a pilgrimage across Latin America. He was arrested again on April 4, 1977 in Argentina, where he was detained for fourteen months without a trial and was subjected to psychological and physical torture.

Despite the inequalities, human beings and the community of nations have managed to develop a certain awareness and codes of conduct (thanks to education and participation in national and international affairs), proclaiming human rights as fundamental for the life and development of all peoples. Fifty years after the proclamation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, it is essential to strengthen ties between human beings so that we can confirm the values of the life and dignity of individuals and peoples.
The learning process has been difficult and painful but also full of hope. There has been some progress but there is still a lot of work to do before people can take control of their own lives and history. Those who remain mere spectators are those who are most likely to suffer the consequences of violence and injustice.
As we approach the third millennium, it is time to reassess and to explore further the notions of human rights and democracy as indivisible values. If human rights are violated, democracy is weakened and falls into the hands of authoritarian governments or dictatorships.
Education for peace and for human rights is a prerequisite for the development of social conscience and responsibility, the respect of others and a culture of solidarity. Primary and secondary schools, as well as universities, must develop study programmes that include education in human rights.

Adolfo Perez Esquivel Nobel Laureate Adolfo Perez Esquivel Condemns Economic Terrorism
by Thad Dunning, Department of Political Science On October 10th, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Adolfo Perez Esquivel spoke to an audience of over one hundred people in UC Berkeley’s Stephens Hall. He discussed the causes and consequences of global conflict and criticized the toll of what he termed "economic terrorism" on human rights and national sovereignty around the world. "When we look at the 'silent bomb' of hunger and poverty, we have to understand this as a form of terrorism," said Perez Esquivel, an Argentine who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1980 for his work with the organization, Servicio Paz y Justicia . "One thing is clear: war will not bring about a change," he said. Reflecting on the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11th, Perez Esquivel delivered a message that was both compassionate and critical. "We (in Latin America) know and understand your suffering and pain, because we have also survived and struggled," he said. In 1977 Esquivel had the experience of being detained and held without charges for fourteen months by the Argentine military dictatorship.

Mr. Perez Esquivel, a native of Buenos Aires, is an architect, sculptor and teacher. He won the 1980 prize for his resistance to Argentina's Dirty War against leftist rebels. Imprisoned and tortured, he was freed with help from Amnesty International and the Pope. At 71, he leads the Latin American human-rights group Servicio, Paz y Justicia, and travels widely on behalf of the antiwar movement. He has been in Toronto and Ottawa under the auspices of the church group KAIROS: Canadian Ecumenical Justice Initiatives. After visiting Iraq last year for a firsthand look at what 12 years of sanctions and U.S. bombing attacks have done to its battered infrastructure, Mr. Perez Esquivel scoffed at the notion that Iraq poses any significant threat.

Adolfo Pérez Esquivel*
Letter to Bush - stop the massacre
Mr. President of the United States of North America George W. Bush I don?t know if you will read this letter, not because it won?t reach you, but because you are incapable of reading it, because your heart is hardened by hate and fear, because you don?t have the capacity or courage to open your mind and spirit to compassion. In spite of all this, I?m not able to stop it from being sent to you, because if you don?t read it, I?m sure that many men and women will read it, those who asked that you might desist from the massacre against the Iraqi people.
When you yourself decided the invasion of Iraq, in spite of the opposition of the people of the world, you did not listen to their protests: ?No to war! Yes to peace!?, closing your ears and your heart when the United Nations, the churches, the humanitarian and human rights organizations, protested once again that the rule of law and the consideration of the people ought to rule. You weren?t disposed to hear them.
I expressed to you in another letter not to challenge God, not to construct the tower of Babel from mercilessness and hate, not to let yourself be dominated by ambitions of power to impose your political, economic and military interests. I said to you, reflect, because as you sow, so shall you reap. Lamentably, you don?t know how to honor life, you have profoundly endangered all of humanity and your own people. You will win battles with your imperial army and those of your allies, will be able to demonstrate the power of arms and the high technology of death, but nothing of this gives you the reason.

Nobel laureate encourages human rights work
Peace begins `in our own individual's hearts,' Adolfo Perez Esquivel tells youth By Alwen Bledsoe Adolfo Perez Esquivel, the 1980 Nobel Peace Prize winner, stood silent and smiling as 400 teenagers greeted him with a standing ovation and raucous cheers at Regis University Feb. 24. Esquivel led the teens in a PeaceJam conference at the university over the weekend, addressing them on the subject of "Human Rights and Justice for All." PeaceJam, an international organization founded in Denver in 1996 by Dawn Engel and Ivan Suvanjieff with input from the Dalai Lama, brings together high school students and Nobel Peace laureates to discuss and practice peacemaking skills. They apply the skills they acquire via community projects, which in the past have addressed issues such as AIDS, family violence and homelessness. Originally a well-known sculptor and professor of architecture in Argentina, Adolfo Perez Esquivel was awarded the Nobel Prize for his human rights work during Argentina's "Dirty War," which lasted from 1976-1983. In 1974 Esquivel became secretary-general of the group Servicio Paz y Justicia (Service for Peace and Justice) which organized and consolidated the efforts of numerous non-violent human rights groups throughout Latin America. Arrested in 1977, Esquivel was imprisoned and tortured for 14 months before international pressure became so great that he was freed.
