Amnesty International reports that "the [[Armed Forces of the Argentine Republic|security forces in Argentina]] first started using "death squads" in late 1973. One example was [[Alianza Anticomunista Argentina]], a far-right death squad mainly active during the "[[Dirty War]]". By the time military rule ended in 1983 some 1,500 people had been killed directly by "death squads", and over 9,000 named people and many more undocumented victims had been "disappeared"—kidnapped and murdered secretly—according to the officially appointed National Commission on Disappeared People (CONADEP).<ref name="autogenerated6">Amnesty International – Getting Away With Murder: Political Killings and Disappearances in the 1990s, 1993,36</ref>
