MUNOZ RINCON, ANAMARÍA. The (In)Sufficiency of the Law: Truth Production in Transitional Scenarios. []. , 48, pp.85-112.   02--2021. ISSN 0122-9893.  https://doi.org/10.18601/01229893.n48.04.

The radical differentiation between judicial truth and historic truth seems to constitute a central premise in transitional justice, and although the discussions regarding transitions are now at the center of current global debates, scarce attention has been paid to the actual difference between these two types of truth and their products. This article examines the theoretical premises that support the distinction by means of some examples that serve as proof of its porosity. I suggest that these premises do not hold true when the inputs that go into judicial and historic truth products are observed closely. On the contrary, I show that truth does not have a static place of production in the institutional architecture of transitions.
