Placa Conmemorativa Argentina

The plaque you are approaching stands as a significant symbol of historical memory within the Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris. It was inaugurated in March of 2026 by the campus foundation to honor the victims of state terrorism during the military dictatorship in Argentina between 1974 and 1983. This act of remembrance serves as a permanent statement on the university grounds, intended to uphold the principles of human rights and democratic values. Its installation followed a period of intense public controversy regarding the removal of a similar memorial from the nearby Casa de Argentina residence. By placing this marker in a shared, international space, the institution asserts that the history of these victims is a matter of global recognition and collective responsibility.
