The second half of the twentieth century was a period of liberation for Latin American countries from military dictatorships.

The near absence of a prohibition on aggression is a problem of the development of Latin American legislation. Another problem was the absence of rules on responsibility for crimes against international law in the legislation of Argentina, Brazil and Mexico.
