President Carter, who made human rights a centerpiece of his foreign policy, actively pressed the Argentine dictatorship at the time to cease its policy of forced disappearances.

According to first official Argentine report, disappearances slowed from 3,600 in 1976 (the real figure for '76 was probably twice as many or more) to 46 in 1980.

Carter had a lot to do with that - and did so against vehement Republican opposition (especially Kissinger's).



He was belatedly awarded the Order of the Liberator San Martín - the country's highest decoration to any citizen, Argentine or not - in 2017.

He was massively misunderstood when he was in office. Proud to say I voted for him both times.
