On the other hand, the recent statement from the UN High Commissioner on Human Rights' South American office against the recent Supreme Court "back-door amnesty" ruling for Dirty War convicts seems to have the Macri administration in a tizzy.

After voicing approval for the ruling last week, the administration has reversed tack and has now ordered the Justice Ministry to file amicus briefs against the cascade of court cases being filed by Dirty War convicts using the Muiña case to seek parole.

It's good to see the UN can still use its good offices to influence a semi-repressive administration like Macri's.
