A number of recent changes in the Argentine govern-
counter-subversion campaign are apparently intended to
human rights abuses. It is apparent, however, that se-
rious violations of human rights continue. They reportedly in-
clude an increasing use of illegal methods by small groups
within the military and securitj forces, apparently reflecting
rivalries within the power structure.
As a result of the significantly reduced capabilities
of terrorist groups, the government has taken steps to control
the excessive activities of the security services. Lists of

prisoners released or sent to trial are being published, and
new procedures have been instituted to lessen the chances of
"mistakes" in identifying suspected subversives.
In addition, more cases are being transferred from
executive jurisdiction to military and civilian courts, although
this will not necessarily result in improved conditions for
prisoners or end the torturing or killing of captured terror-
ists. Some detainees only marginally connected with subversives
are receiving reduced sentences, others have been granted full
release, and some have received authorization to leave the
country.
As the antiterrorism campaign diminishes, the abuses
and violence that result from inter- and intra-service rivalries
are becoming more apparent. The abduction of the Argentine am-
bassador to Venezuela remains unsolved, as does the disappear-
ance of a prominent labor leader several months ago and of a
number of lawyers more recently. There have been no ransom notes
in these cases, and the backgrounds of most of the victims offer
little to connect them with terrorism or subversion, suggesting
that their fate is more closely connected with politics in the
military government than with counter-subversion. Such activity
reflects the government's inability to control hardliners within
its own ranks.
