MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay (AP) — Uruguay's senate has voted to revoke an amnesty law protecting scores of officials in the country's 1973-1985 dictatorship from human rights prosecutions.
Backed by the governing Broad Front coalition, the vote has squeaked through by a 16-15 margin and will be voted on by the Uruguay's Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday.
The move would meet an Inter-American Human Rights court demand that the South American country lift impediments to prosecuting dictatorship-era crimes.
Sen. Eduardo Lorier saiid Tuesday that the senate's decision establishes that dictatorship-era crimes are crimes against humanity and not subject to amnesty. The Supreme Court has ruled they are common crimes.
