Notes for Mexican case on transitional justice and rights of victims
Keywords:
Transitional Justice, violence, Human Rights, victims, social systemAbstract
Transitional justice is characterized by focusing its actions and objectives on the victims through different mechanisms that allow guaranteeing their four rights: truth, justice, reparation for damage and non-repetition. International experiences have contributed to the definition of the limits and scope of transitional justice by becoming a guideline both for the creation of international norms and for implementing new processes in countries with a past of serious human rights violations. The article presents a succinct approach to the historical-conceptual foundations of transitional justice, the main international experiences, as well as the mechanisms implemented in Mexico. For it, the Theory of Social Systems by Niklas Luhmann is used, which allows us to understand the interactions between the political and legal systems, especially the entropy that the first causes in the second due to random decisions to maintain impunity and omission, which impact society. Thereby, the importance of the emergence of transitional justice is highlighted as an element that stabilizes the system and favors guarantees of Human Rights. Among the main findings, the importance of the mobilization of the victims to promote the different transitional justice mechanisms implemented in Mexico as well as its contribution to social reconciliation stands out.
