Is somebody saying that it was? Interesting remark. Could be the tell-tale graviton that unravels the black hole inside the parallel universe of Miami Herald articles on Latin America.
Cuz these shitwads--Fujimori, Pinochet, et al--were agents of the U.S. corpo state, and it is unlikely that anything "signed in Miami" was the true cause of their eventual prosecution. More likely, it has been the courageous, persistent, undauntable leftist social movements in Latin America, which have succeeded in electing leftist governments (i.e., good governments, who act in the interest of the people) all over South America, and into Central America, despite every effort of the U.S. government and its corporate rulers to prevent it. "The Grandmothers" in Argentina, who--at great risk to themselves--publicly protested the tortures, deaths, and 'disappeared' of Argentina, and never let anyone forget it. The courageous student activists of Peru, and the families of 'disappeared' students and other victims of Fujimori's death squads, and human rights activists--all kept pressure on prosecutors and politicians--until some of the graves were found, and Fujumori was at long last indicted and convicted.
The Miami Herald would like us to believe that a U.S.-dominated OAS "convention" led to these instances of justice finally being done, but since the U.S. government is the protector of tyrants and death squads criminals in Latin America--and, indeed, the funder and trainer and chief supporter of them--it is extremely unlikely that this "convention" was anything other than hypocritical bullshit, and it is much more likely that it was the courageous 'little people'--the victims--who refused to give up until justice was done.
The Miami Herald routinely prints crap, bullshit, lies, propaganda and psyops about events in Latin America. It is often obvious; and occasionally not obvious. This looks like one of their less obvious pieces of crap, and it would be interesting to have the perspective of the people who have actually fought so hard to address the U.S. and fascist horrors of the past, and to create good governments in the present. That process is not over in Peru--one of the anomalies of the continent where corrupt 'free tradists' currently rule, and, indeed, where harsh repression of peasant farmers, poor workers and others continues. Likely, this article is intended to whitewash the current very corrupt government of Peru--just as the prosecutions of death squad participants in Colombia are used to make it appear that Colombia's putrid government is somehow acceptable.
