Recognition of the right to the truth and the state obligation to investigate in the Inter-American System

Abstract

Given the new questions that cross the statements of truth in Argentina, the article proposes to take a tour of the recognition of the right to truth in the inter-American system under the impulse of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and analyzing the jurisprudence of the Court, considering particularly that this right is not explicitly recognized in the American Convention on Human Rights. The variations that have occurred in relation to the determination of interested parties in the application are analyzed, including the whole of society, and how progress has been made from investigation and trial policies to the field of reparations.
