Notes
1 The PPT is an independent tribunal based in Rome that investigates crimes against humanity. A descendant of the 1967 Bertrand Russell-Jean Paul Sartre Vietnam War Crimes Tribunal, the PPT applies international law and policy to cases brought before it. In each case, thousands of documents and witness statements are reviewed throughout a series of hearings, resulting in a Final Ruling. My brief description in this paragraph of structural violence in Mexico is based on the Final Ruling corresponding to the Mexican Chapter of the PPT. See Permanent Peoples’ Tribunal.
2 I thank my research assistant, Yareni Monteón López, for sharing this suggestion after conducting a search for recent Latin American research literature on the subject matter of this article. The overall conclusion of her search is that “science” has not been a priority or even a visible discussion topic in Latin American feminisms, although the epistemological and political critique of exclusion of indigenous and “other” knowledges has acquired prominence in recent “decolonial” discussions.
3 In 2014, Ernesto Schwartz-Marín and Arely Cruz-Santiago drew resources from the Economic and Social Research Council (ESCRC) for a project titled Citizen-Led Forensics: DNA and Databasing as Technologies of Disruption, Novel Ways to Learn and Intervene in the Search for the Disappeared. Besides ESCRC, CfC involves the participation of transnational actors as providers of DNA test tool-kits, digital infrastructure, and as external “custodians” of biological samples.
