Comisión Nacional sobre la Desaparición de Personas

The Comisión Nacional sobre la Desaparición de Personas (National Commission on the Disappearance of Persons, CONADEP) was an Argentine organism created by President Raúl Alfonsín on December 15, 1983, shortly after his inauguration to investigate the fate of the desaparecidos and other human rights violations (see: Dirty War) performed during the military dictatorship of 1976 to 1983.

The research of the investigation commission was documented in the Nunca Más (Never Again) book, delivered to Alfonsín on September 20, 1984, which opened the doors to the trial of the military juntas of the dictatorship.
