1) Out of all the sources you have collected and consulted for your group’s country please describe in detail four primary sources.
2) How do each of these primary sources support your prosecutorial claim of genocidal charges against the U.S. and its complicity in Latin America/Caribbean?
3) Who was the U.S. president during the time your primary sources were created?
4) According to your sources what did the U.S. president say about military violence and the country in your group?
5) Who was the president of your group’s country during the time your primary source was created?
6) What groups or individuals in your group country were being targeted, arrested and murdered by these governments?
7) Compare and contrast your group’s country with another country of the assigned groups? How was the violence similar? Different?
8) Looking at your particular group were any military officers or politicians ever brought to trial? If no, why not? If yes, why?
9) With the evidence you have collected and the U.N. definition of genocide can you argue that the violence committed by the country’s military in your group and the USA are guilty of genocide? Why?
10) What is the current state of these countries now regarding memorialization of the violence of past governments? Have these countries alone and/or together with the USA attempted to reconcile or address these histories of violence? How? Give examples.
