- Abstract
This paper analyses the Inter-American System and the experiences of Truth Commissions in Latin American to answer the question whether or not the Inter-American System has gone beyond these experiences in the pursuit of the Right to Truth. For the above, we examine the imposition of amnesty laws that spoiled the peace processes in Argentina, Chile, El Salvador, Guatemala and Peru and the role of the Inter-American Commission in these cases.
