Between Cold War Imperatives and State-Sponsored Terrorism: The United States and “Operation Condor”

Barbara Zanchetta

Studies in Conflict and Terrorism, 2016, vol. 39, issue 12, 1084-1102

Abstract: Operation Condor was a transnational network of organized state-sponsored terrorism that targeted Communist “subversion.” It was operational in the second half of the 1970s. The key member countries were Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Brazil (Peru and Equador joined the network later on, with a more marginal role). Based on declassified documents from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Geneva and on U.S. documents of various origin, this article will assess the development of the Condor network and the U.S. reaction to such manifest acts of state-sponsored terrorism.
