C. Chisari (2022), The Judicial Implementation of the Right to The Truth: Some Thoughts on the Argentinian Experience of the Juicios por la Verdad
December 23rd, 2022
This article explores the significance of safeguarding the right to truth in post-conflict contexts by examining the experience of the Juicios por la Verdad (the Truth Trials), a quasi-judicial mechanism implemented in Argentina following the military dictatorship. The analysis highlights that judicial truth-seeking goes beyond merely reconstructing events; it also provides recognition to victims, strengthens the rule of law, and, to some extent, advances justice. In this way, the article contributes to the broader debate on peacebuilding strategies.
