Jara vs Barrientos: The Víctor Jara case before universal justice
Abstract
The present paper seeks to analyze the decision of June 27, 2016, in which a jury of the District Court of the Middle District of Florida, Orlando, United States of America, declared that Pedro Pablo Barrientos Núñez was guilty of having participated in torture and murder of Víctor Lidio Jara Martínez, crimes committed in September of 1973. In the first part it’s reported who was Víctor Jara and its historical significance, then given an account of the circumstances of his death in the former Chile Stadium, in Santiago, Chile, by Army officers. Then the future of the judicial case in our country will be analyzed, and the problem of one of those involved outside the Chilean borders. As a third point, the process in the United States of America will be examined, as will be the Torture Victims Protection Act and the Alien Tort Statute as a form of universal justice.
