El Salvador Civil War

El Salvador's Supreme Court on Wednesday declared as unconstitutional a 1993 amnesty law that helped bring an end to the country's civil war but also prevented authorities from seeking justice for Human Rights violations committed during the brutal conflict.

Archbishop Oscar Romero was a symbol of the divisions that split El Salvador during its civil war, but 35 years after his assassination, his imminent beatification has united former foes.
