Title: The Current Agenda of Security and Human Rights in Argentina: An Analysis by the Center for Legal and Social Studies (CELS)
Abstract: This article takes stock of the public security agenda in Argentina within the regional context. In this sense, it analyzes the Ministry of Security’s first year of operations (it was created in December 2010) and provides some specific experiences with an overview of variety of regional security and human rights approaches. While the current changes to security policy in Argentina have their own characteristics and adaptations, they are framed by and interact with some regional trends. This paper explores progress towards gaining political control over security matters, as well as the effects of the international “new threat” agenda. Some of the enacted measures should serve as warning signs, showing how less democratic trends in security can permeate local political decisions if internationally accepted.
