The Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team (Equipo Argentino de Antropología Forense, EAAF) is a non-governmental, not-for-profit, scientific organization that applies forensic sciences - mainly forensic anthropology and archaeology- to the investigation of human rights violations in Argentina and worldwide. EAAF was established in 1984 to investigate the cases of at least 9,000 disappeared people in Argentina under the military government that ruled from 1976-1983. Today, the team works in Latin America, Africa, Asia and Europe on five integrated programs:
- Investigative Program
- Training and Advisory Assistance
- Scientific Development
- Strengthening the Field
- Documentation and Dissemination
- The Latin American Forensic Anthropology Association (ALAF) is holding the 5th Forensic Anthropology Congress, in Buenos Aires from October 26 to 28. Click here for the conference program (Spanish Only).
