The Advisory Council on Memory Public Policies was created in 2014 by Law 4929. Its purposes are: collecting and systematizing documentary and testimonial material corresponding to the period of the last military dictatorship; proposing activities (for example, exhibitions, courses, conferences, etc) that raise awareness about the human rights violations that were committed during that time; establishing ties with institutions that carry out related activities and advise the public administration of the City of Buenos Aires on issues related to the safeguarding and transmission of the memory of the events that occurred during State terrorism. The Council is made up of representatives of the Executive Branch of the City of Buenos Aires, the Legislature of the City of Buenos Aires and non-governmental organizations that work on Human Rights issues linked to the last military dictatorship.
