Abstract
The chapter discusses corporate judicial accountability in Argentine provincial settings. Although Argentina is regarded as a leader in corporate accountability efforts in transitional justice contexts, few final convictions have been achieved. Using the Archimedes’ Lever approach, it analyses how human rights mobilisation, institutional innovation of legal actors and veto players interacted in a changing political context to produce advances, setbacks and stagnation of judicial accountability processes. It focuses on the still pending La Fronterita case, which involves an allegation of the sugar mill’s involvement in crimes against humanity of at least 64 victims between 1975 and 1978 in the province of Tucumán, where transitional justice processes have followed a distinct pattern. The province’s distance from the country’s principal political centres placed heavy demands on local human rights groups. They carried the burden of drawing attention to, and solidarity behind, the human rights claims to attract national and international attention. Their work, moreover, unfolded in a provincial context in which economic actors accused of complicity enjoy enhanced social, economic and political privileges that enabled them to pose obstacles to accountability efforts. The strength of these so-called ‘veto players’ increased over time, particularly with a political context unfavourable to corporate accountability.
