Summary/Abstract: THE DICTATORSHIP OF military junta inflicted on the Argentinian society many injures, which have been painful till today. Thousands of people were followed, kidnapped, tortured, killed, and children of arrested pregnant women were captured and given to adoption. After lost Falklands-Malvinas War and the decline of bloody regime, victims’ families began long way of exposuring the truth about crimes commited by the servicemen, and politicians confronted difficult task (or challenge), which was the reconciliation of society. The article tries to explain the Argentinian process of reconciliation during the transition that was taking place in context of economic, political and social crisis and also difficult international situation. It shows how military junta attempted to warranting itself an impunity (by, for example, Decree 22924 or 2726/83) and president`s R. Alfonsín struggle for human rights, truth, reconciliation (decrees 157, 158,187, CONADEP Commission) and problem of subordinating the services to civil structures (military process, rebellions in barracs, „ley de punto final” and „ley de obedencia debida”). It also investigates the policy of C. Menem of subordination of the services to civil authorities by „pacificacion nacional” and reprieves that suspended for few years issues of responsibility for committed crimes.
