Le groupe des travailleurs a présenté la campagne en faveur de l’inscription du musée et lieu de mémoire de l’ESMA en Argentine sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO.
Le musée et lieu de mémoire de l’ESMA en Argentine était un centre secret de détention, de torture et d’extermination qui a fonctionné de 1976 à 1983 durant la dictature argentine. Symbole de l’histoire du pays, il s’est aussi imposé comme une institution d’importance internationale qui a su réunir une somme considérable de preuves attestant de violations des droits de l’homme et de crimes contre l’humanité qu’il ne faudra jamais oublier.
La campagne pour faire de l’ESMA un site classé au patrimoine de l’UNESCO est soutenue par des organisations de défense des droits de l’homme, les syndicats du Mercosur et l’ambassade d’Argentine auprès de l’Union européenne.
La manifestation s’est tenue en ligne le 30 juin et a été retransmise en ligne sur la page web du CESE et sur ses comptes de réseaux sociaux. Vous trouverez davantage d’informations ici. (ck)
