		The Full Stop and Due Obedience laws, approved by the Argentine Congress in 1986 and 1987 respectively, effectively obstruct the investigation and prosecution of crimes against humanity committed during the military governments of 1976 to 1983.
		The laws were repealed by the Argentine Congress in 1998, but their repeal was interpreted by some members of the judiciary as not being effective retroactively.
		Both chambers of Congress, the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate, must declare the amnesty laws null and void before it can enter into Argentine legislation.

		The Chamber of Deputies has 257 members who are elected from province-wide multi-member districts (the 23 provinces and the federal district) for four year terms.
		The brevity of Argentine legislative careers Since the country’s return to democracy in 1983, the overall stability of membership in the Argentine Chamber of Deputies has been relatively low.
		Thus, deputies will survive in congress when their tenure there poses no threat to the local party boss, either because they are politically “harmless” or because they are more dangerous at home than in the national legislature.

		Argentina's Chamber of Deputies has approved a bill that amends Article 45 of the country's Broadcasting Law (Ley de Radiodifusión).
		AMARC considers the Chamber of Deputies' approval to be a positive development since it recognises the right of citizens to express themselves using any means available and it brings Argentina closer to compliance with international freedom of expression standards.
		While the bill was being debated by the Chamber of Deputies, the broadcasting law, which was developed under the country's dictatorship and is still in effect, was seriously questioned and the need for a new law was raised.

		Buenos Aires, Apr 11 (EFE) - The Argentine Chamber of Deputies approved a resolution Thursday calling for the government to "abstain" from voting against Cuba at the U.N. Human Rights Commission sessions in Geneva.

		The resolution approved by the lower house was introduced by Deputy Jorge Obeid of the Peronist Party, who noted that "unfortunately, Argentina has modified its historical position of neutrality in these matters and has joined in condemnations of Cuba."

	Chile Information Project -- "Santiago Times" -- Political, Environment, Human Rights, Economic News; December 7, 1998
		The agreement was signed by Chilean and Argentine Foreign Relations Ministers Jose Miguel Insulza and Guido di Tella and provides a partial solution to the seven-year border conflict between the two countries over the southern Campo de Hielo Sur zone.
		For the agreement to go into effect, it must first be considered by the Argentine Chamber of Deputies, which is expected to approve it this month, and then the Chilean Senate Border Commission, which will probably consider the proposal the first week of January.
		Di Tella and Insulza had indicated that, unlike an earlier treaty signed in 1991, this one should be approved by congress rapidly since Argentina's Chamber of Deputies originally called on the government to reinitiate negotiations and because the Chilean government has consulted the nation's congressmen about the treaty much more than it did last time.

	Drug War Chronicle, Issue #314
		A proposal floated by Deputy Prime Minister Giancarlo Fini, leader of Italy's former neo-fascist party, and approved by Berlusconi and his cabinet in mid-November, would make possession of even the smallest amount of drugs an offense, and possession of more than the "daily minimum dose" of even marijuana could lead to a six-year prison sentence.
		People arrested with amounts varying with the drug, but in all cases less than a half gram, of cocaine, ecstasy, heroin, or even marijuana would face administrative penalties including confiscation of their passports and loss of drivers' or arms-carrying licenses.
		And although the proposal has aroused a storm of criticism in Italy, where, according to the European Monitoring Center for Drugs and Drug Addiction (http://www.emcdda.eu.int) nearly 10% of Italian young adults smoked marijuana in the last year, and must still clear parliament, it appears assured of success.

		FALKLANDS students’ A Level results began arriving in the Islands yesterday and the Director of Education says “...initial impressions are good,” however reactions from the students are mixed.
		The statement made on Wednesday appears to be a reaction to a declaration from the Argentine Congress’ Chamber of Deputies “deploring” the attitude of Chilean and Uruguayan diplomats who participated in the June 14 (Liberation Day) Lincoln’s Inn reception hosted by the Falkland Islands Government.
		Early this week, Argentine Foreign minister Rafael Bielsa was quoted in the South American press as saying his country “could not stand indifferent” if Chilean diplomats, for example, “...were present at a celebration of the illegitimate government of the Malvinas to celebrate the fall of Puerto Argentino (Stanley).”
