The Center for Legal and Social Studies (Centro de Estudios Legales y Sociales, CELS) is leading organization in the field of human rights. Since its creation in 1979, during the military dictatorship, CELS has fought against systematic violations of human rights in Argentina, investigating, documenting, denouncing, and litigating in favor of the recognition of fundamental rights and transparency. With the return of democracy in 1983, CELS began to work towards the consolidation of the role of the State in protecting human rights, influencing the design and implementation of public policy. With thirty years of experience in Argentina, CELS is making itself into a leading reference in the issue of human rights on a regional and international level. This year, for its 30th anniversary, CELS is taking a great step forward. It will seek to make itself into an even stronger and more influential organization in the region in the fields of human rights, democracy, and good-governance in the global South.
