Who are the last western leaders to be prosecuted for torture/human rights violations?

Those members of the Greek junta in 1975?

I considered them, but I went for someone more unambigiously Western.

If we're covering Eastern Europe, Erich Honecker was prosecuted over the deaths of 192 East Germans killed trying to cross the Iron Curtain, but wasn't convicted due to ill health and died in 1994.

I'm tempted to throw Eichmann into the mix here.

If we add Eichmann, we can add every defendant at the Major War Criminals trial at Nuremberg - Doenitz was leader of the Reich at the end of the war.

(He also got only ten years after Chester Nimitz pointed out that unrestricted submarine warfare had also been used by the Allies)
