Human rights violations perpetrated by military, paramilitary and, to a lesser extent, guerrilla forces were devastating and widespread throughout El Salvador during the US-backed war (1980–1992). Regions where people suffered from “scorched earth” military operations included former combat zones such as San Vicente, Morazán, Chalatenango, and Usulután, among others. Searching through state and private records shortly after the UN-brokered Peace Accord, we (the investigation unit of the Salvadoran Association in Search of Disappeared Children, Pro Búsqueda) gave special attention to cases originating in these former conflict zones, cases involving the International Red Cross (Cruz Roja), and any cases in which the identity or origin of the child was not given. When children were too young or traumatized to give their names, their identities were documented simply as “Niño” or “Niña” “X” (“Child X”).
