Abstract

The following Expert Court Report is based on the experience of research of the signatories in relation to the exhumations of mass graves of the Civil War (1936-1939) and the postwar period, in the context of the “movement for the recovery of historical memory” that is taking place in Spain since 2000. This movement has focused its demands on the search of the missing persons and has launched a cycle of exhumations of mass graves derived from the Civil War and the Dictatorship. In this Report, the exhumations of the 21st century are used as indicators of the persistence over time of the politics and cultures of fear installed in Spanish society, beyond the deep political and institutional transformations that occurred in the country after the death of Francisco Franco. It was presented as part of the documentation of Fausto Canales’ Lawsuit against Spain on September 15th, 2012 in the European Court of Human Rights.
