Rogelio Goiburú

Rogelio Goiburú is a prominent Paraguayan human rights advocate and the director of Memory, Reparations, and Historical Memory at the Ministry of Justice. He has been actively involved in efforts to address the historical injustices faced by victims of the dictatorship in Paraguay, particularly in relation to the forced disappearances during the era of the National Plan of Condor. Recently, he highlighted the challenges faced in identifying over 40 unidentified skeletons in Paraguay, contrasting the lack of resources and support for forensic anthropology in Paraguay with the more robust efforts in Argentina, where many victims have been successfully identified. His work is crucial in pushing for state accountability and the need for increased resources to support the identification of victims from this dark period in Paraguayan history.
