By Tom Clark LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - For Ariel Dulitzky, the horror of the disappearance of his two cousins in 1970s Argentina remains a painful backdrop to his work to end a practice still used by many governments to silence critics. Dulitzky, now chair of the U.N. Working Group on Enforced and Involuntary Disappearances, was 11 years old when his cousin disappeared in 1977, with another cousin going missing just a year later.
