Alfredo Stroessner, military dictator of Paraguay, (1954-1989), for forced disappearances, torture, political killings. Stroessner lives in Brazil. Because of his participation in the [largely CIA-financed] Condor Plan, along with Pinochet and the regimes in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, and Bolivia, a great deal of information is potentially available. And there is important human rights work now being done in Paraguay by survivors, relatives of the missing, and other activists.

Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier, president of Haiti (1971-1986), for kidnapping, torture, and the Tonton Macoute death squads. He is living in seclusion in a villa in France, enjoying a lifestyle paid for through decades of systematic corruption.

Mengistu Haile Miriam, dictator of Ethiopia (1971-1991), for brutality and political killings, especially in Eritrea, and the war and famine in Somalia. He lives under protection in Zimbabwe, in spite of Ethiopia's requests that he be extradited to stand trial.

Raoul Cedrás and Philippe Biamby, for their role in the bloody 1991 coup against Haiti's elected president, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, and for torture and mass political murder during their dictatorship. When Aristide was restored to the presidency, Cedrás and Biamby were granted protection by Panama, where they still live. Panama has refused Human Rights Watch's request for extradition or prosecution, on the grounds that it would set a bad precedent to reverse an offer of asylum.
