• W752925112 abstract "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it1George SantayanaIntroductionUsually when someone thinks about the development of human rights throughout history, countries like France, England and the United States come to mind. This western view of human rights, deeply rooted in the collective imagination of the people, impedes understanding the great influence that countries in Latin America have exerted on expanding the catalogue of human rights and their scope.The contribution of Latin America to the development of human rights has occurred not only through the multiple writings of its scholars, jurists or politicians, but also through the suffering of its people. This suffering has provided a field of study for the origin and expansion of human rights around the world.When discussing the legacy of the Cold War in Latin America, the former President of Costa Rica and Nobel Peace Laureate, Doctor Oscar Arias once expressed that the superpowers provided the weapons, we provided the corpses.2 In this case, we might paraphrase his words to say that Europe provided the theory, but Latin America provided the suffering.This paper aims to depict briefly some of the contributions made by domestic courts in Latin America to the emergence and development of human rights by focusing, particularly, on the to or the to know the as it has also been called throughout its recent history. Specifically about that right, this paper will trace its journey from its origins in Argentina, with the so called trials, to its progressive recognition by other domestic courts in this region.In addition, it plans to illustrate the role that victims and their relatives have played in the birth and expansion of the right to truth, not only through the work by its national institutions, but by the victims of forced disappearances and relatives. In their cases, although many years have passed since the abduction of their loved ones, they are still facing the uncertainty of their whereabouts and, therefore, postponing their right to mourn.Finally, although its focus is specifically the development of the right to truth by the national courts of different countries within Latin America, to better understand this paper it is necessary to provide a little background about the development ofthat right at the regional system of protection of human rights. This is because the jurisprudence of both the InterAmerican Commission on Human Rights and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights is previous to the one formulated by the domestic courts.1. Origins within the Organization of American StatesIn the Americas, the right to know the truth has been widely and repeatedly addressed by the two supervisory organs under the American Convention on Human Rights and, more recently, by the General Assembly of the Organization of American States. For almost twenty five years, both the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights have dedicated a large part of its jurisprudence to the recognition and to the development ofthat right, particularly in response to the practice of forced disappearances that has plagued the region for many years. This right emerged in transitional societies mostly as a necessity to overcome the secrecy in which authoritarian regimes carried out a wide number of atrocities during the course of a dictatorship or an armed conflict. Moreover, it came about as an instrument for the relatives of the disappeared to learn the whereabouts and fate of their loved ones and to untangle a web of denial knitted by the former authoritarian governments.The right to truth was addressed for the first time in 1986 by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights in its annual report dealing with the consolidation of democracies that have emerged from a repressive past. In that report, the Commission outlined the problems that incipient democracies had to overcome in light of the heinous crimes committed by previous governments and highlighted the duty of the former to carry out investigations in order to disclose the truth. …" @default.
