The Solidarity and Human Rights Mission, made up of political, social and union leaders, presented its final report on the "repressive action" deployed last June by "the authorities of the province of Jujuy" against the civilian population that demonstrated against of the constitutional reform, and classified the "systematic and widespread violation" of the rights of protesters as "crimes against humanity." The multidisciplinary space was in Jujuy from June 16 to 26, as it did previously in other countries, in the face of multiple complaints of human rights violations by the Jujuy Government. "The Argentine State is responsible for the serious violation of human rights of the civilian population within the framework of the repressive action deployed since June 7, 2023 by the authorities of the province of Jujuy in the territory of Jujuy," said the Mission in the conclusions of the 75-page report that Télam accessed. "A large part of the violations - verified -, due to their systematic and/or generalized nature and directed against the civilian population, typify crimes against humanity, provided for and sanctioned by international human rights law," he added. He also observed that the rule of law and the democratic order in Jujuy were "seriously limited and affected, suspending basic and elementary judicial guarantees." The Mission stated that the Jujuy authorities not only "failed to guarantee the rights" of citizens, but also carried out "a systematic and widespread harmful action against the civilian population." For the interdisciplinary group, "the authorities of the province of Jujuy used their powers in an abusive, arbitrary and illegal manner, directing, ordering and executing actions that violated human rights," and without observing the "criteria of proportionality, rationality, legality and necessity." that are required of every democratic state of law". In this deployment, the members of the Mission observed and verified the "commission of serious crimes both by action or omission of its executive and judicial bodies." The members of the group considered that the authorities of the province of Jujuy should be investigated for "torment, abuse, persecution, threats, intimidation and other criminal conduct committed by their regular security forces" and that "the serious violations of human rights confirmed human rights constitute crimes against humanity".
