Thousands of students, soldiers and policemen have passed through the School of the Americas (SOA), among them prominent human rights violators such as the Argentine Leopoldo Galtieri and Roberto Viola; the Bolivian Hugo Bánzer; the Salvadoran Roberto d’Aubuisson, as well as two of the three officers linked to the murder of Archbishop Oscar Romero; three of the five officers cited in the rape and murder of four American nuns; and ten of the twelve soldiers who participated in the massacre of 900 civilians in El Mozote, in El Salvador. Also included are the Panamanian Manuel Noriega, the Peruvian Vladimiro Montesinos, the Chileans Manuel Contreras and Miguel Krassoff; and many others from Colombia.
The information in this database covers both the Latin American graduates and instructors of the SOA, from 1946 to 2000, and students or instructors who have attended the Western Hemisphere Institute for Cooperation and Security (WHINSEC) the new name of the SOA since 2001, but which continues to operate in the same place. The US government has refused to reveal and release the names of new graduates and instructors since 2004.
