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. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-27: Río Gallegos hosts first international congress on false accusations Experts from five Latin American countries met in Río Gallegos for the first international congress addressing false accusations, judicial guarantees, and the presumption of innocence. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/ro-gallegos-hosts-first-international-congress-on-false-accusations ### 2026-10-22: Río Gallegos hosts international congress on false accusations The first international congress against false accusations will be held in Río Gallegos on October 24, featuring legal and forensic experts from across Latin America and the Caribbean. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/ro-gallegos-hosts-international-congress-on-false-accusations --- Cite as: International congress on false accusations.
