Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo
Argentina | Other Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo Civil Association is an Argentine human rights organization whose mission is to locate and reunite with their legitimate families all the children kidnapped-disappeared by the last military dictatorship (1976-1983), to create the conditions to prevent the recurrence of that crime against humanity, and to obtain the corresponding punishment for all of those who were responsible.
It is presided over by Wake Barnes de Carlotto and has its headquarters in Buenos Aires.
Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize on May 12, 2008.
"We, Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo, adhere to the World March for Peace and Non-Violence. We wish it all the success that such an important proposal deserves in this moment when the economic interests of the powerful, either out of indifference or out of excessive ambition, are disregarding the suffering of millions of excluded, abandoned and hungry people all over the world. For the obvious injustice that governments are always ready to come to the aid of troubled banks without the same concern for those whose lives are at stake with real and tragic problems. That is the worse violence that one can suffer and the main cause of wars and the lack of peace and justice."
