RESUMO
The presente work aims the study of Operation Condor, which emerged in the 70s in Latin America. It was a Union between Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia and Chile, all under military rule. Conceived and led by Manuel Contreras, Chilean general charge of the Intelligence Service of his country, it was an improvement on existing cooperation to exchange information among member countries. These events occurred in the context of the Cold War and has participated directly and indirectly, the United States, which were the leading power of the capitalist block. The study was limited to a partial analysis, directed to the repression of communism, seen as the enemy of the state, and all that that entailed: the development of intelligence, information exchange between the governments of the Southern Cone, strong repression of freedom and consequently, violation of human rights. The work was basically guided by four questions: Operation Condor as a state policy undemocratic and violate human rights, international cooperation to achieve the objectives of the government, the policy of dismantling the regime s opponents, the contribution of these events for the recognition of a new crime against humanity, forced disappearances. From this study emerged a number of assumptions: the absence of political and geographical borders to greater mobility and agents exceeded the limits of the policy of war only with international cooperation, especially the U.S., it was possible the implementation of Operation Condor, a cooperation between the Southern Cone countries was the embryo and experimental, culminating in the consolidation of the intelligence services and death squads. The article concludes with a brief survey of amnesty laws, attempts to punish the leaders and agents of these schemes and the consequences at the international level, as the aforementioned recognition of the category of forced disappearance as a crime against humanity
