The 1998 arrest of Senator Augusto Pinochet in London, on the
orders of a Spanish judge seeking his extradition for human rights
crimes, made headlines all over the world. Part of a wider, ongoing
attempt by human rights activists and lawyers to prosecute the
crimes of Latin American military regimes, the case has important
implications for national and international law and for politics,
diplomacy, and democracy. This book brings together political
scientists and lawyers from Latin America, the United States,
Spain, and the UK to analyze the political and historical context
of the case, its progress through the courts in the UK and Chile,
its handling by national governments, and its political and legal
implications, both national and international. Contributors include

de Brito (Instituto de Estudos Estrategicos e Internacionais and
Universidade Moderna, Lisbon, Portugal), Francisco Bravo Lopez
