Abstract

In post-conflict situations, different solutions have been offered to confront the legacy of past crimes, depending on the political and social situations of the moment. However, the theoretical construction that seems prevalent today tends to give criminal justice absolute prominence in these contexts. This article proposes an analysis, which is often overlooked, of the specific purposes and possibilities of this instrument in relation to victims and society. Our thesis is that, due to the exceptionality of these situations, an exercise in weighting between all the interests and objectives at stake and the flexibility of the application of criminal justice are necessary, in search of the best possible combination for ensure the ultimate objective of maintaining the social order and peaceful coexistence between the individuals who make up a society.
