The Inter-American Court of Human Rights said Friday that Argentina is responsible for “failing to prevent” the AMIA bombing. The state also failed in its “duty to investigate the attack and the ensuing coverup with due diligence and within a reasonable time frame,” the court added. The July 1994 bombing of the AMIA, a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, killed 85 people and injured over 300. “30 years after the AMIA attack, we finally got a reparatory sentence,” the group wrote. “The obligation to guarantee personal integrity also presupposes the state’s duty to prevent violations of said right,” the text reads.
