International congress on false accusations

Overview

In October 2026, Río Gallegos hosted the first international congress titled ‘No a las falsas denuncias’ (No to false accusations). Organized by Dr. Elba Soria, the event convened legal experts, academics, and forensic specialists from Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Peru, Puerto Rico, and Uruguay to address the rising frequency of false reports in society.

During the sessions, participants examined the social and educational impacts of such accusations, focusing on criminal and family law. Debates centered on the presumption of innocence, due process, and the scientific validity of forensic psychological techniques used in judicial settings. Some attendees also raised questions regarding the efficacy and cost of state gender policy structures.

The congress concluded with the establishment of an International Commission. It was announced that the subsequent international meeting will be held in Peru, following recent legislative changes to gender laws in that nation.
