Other officials argue that such concerns are illusory. They support the Spanish bid on grounds that Pinochet should be held accountable for the abuses that occurred underhis rule, including the 1976 assassi- nation on a Washingtonstreet of a former Chilean ambassadorandhis aide, who were opposed to Pinochet. Theseofficials contend Pinochet's extradition could be a warning to dictators everywhere. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright has said litfle publicly about the issue but is followingit closely. She has been considering meeting with family members of the two assassination victims: Ambassador Orlando Letelier and Ronni Moffitt, his American assistant Kenneth Roth, executive director of Hu- man Rights Watch, says the administration should supportthe Spanish request. Amer- ican leaders have not committed crimes against humanity, as defined at the Nuremberg tribunai, he says. Only bona fide despots need fear persecution, he adds. Backers of extradition won a victory this past week when Britain's highest court ruled that the former Chilean dictator can- not claim immunity from prosecution. Home Secretary Jack Straw will decide in December whether to let Pinochet go home or let British magistrates begin acting on the Spanish extradition request on charges of genocide, terrorism andtorture. Michael Posner, executive director of the Lawyer’s Committee for Human Rights, hailed the courtruling. * “To those who would commit future crimes, it signals that immunity is limited and that a price for murder, torture and other atrocities will be paid,” he said. The only Pinochet-related action taken by the administration has been to provide Justice Department files from the Pinochet era to Spanish officials. They were turned over under a mutual legal assistance trea iy ” naministration advocates of caution worry that Chile’s hard-won democratic gains could disintegrate if left-right friction divides the country once again.
