Description:
Members of a local human rights commission look at the body of an exhumed civilian in San Salvador, El Salvador, January 1, 1984. The victim was presumably killed by a paramilitary death squad. The country was engaged in a twelve-year civil war between successive authoritarian regimes, backed by the United States, and the guerrilla coalition Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional, Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front, FMLN. The conflict would claim over 75,000 lives before peace negotiations concluded in 1992.
