RACHEL A, May. "TRUTH" AND TRUTH COMMISSIONS IN LATIN AMERICA. Investig. desarro. [online]. 2013, vol.21, n.2, pp.494-512. ISSN 2011-7574.

This paper is a consideration of four major truth gathering projects -Argentina, Chile, Guatemala and Colombia-. This descriptive study applies a "typology of truth" to these 4 historical projects and considers how these truth commissions defined the notion of "truth" in the context of the highly politicized context of transitional justice.

Palabras clave : Truth commissions; Human rights; Transitional justice; reconciliation; Governmental investigations.
