There have been some successful prosecutions of proven tortures during the "dirty war" period of the mid-1980s, although the penalties have been considered by Amnesty International as unjustifiably light and lenient with co-conspirators and enablers.
Bilo je i nekih uspješnih kaznenih progona dokazanih mučitelja tijekom razdoblja "prljavog rata" sredinom 1980-ih, iako su kazne za Amnesty International bile kao neopravdano lagane i blage prema zavjerenicima i onima koji su to omogućavali.
