Summary
In the present report, the Special Rapporteur on the promotion of truth, justice, reparation and guarantees of non-recurrence, Fabián Salvioli, provides an analysis of the international legal standards underpinning the five pillars of transitional justice: truth, justice, reparation, memorialization and guarantees of non-recurrence.
The Special Rapporteur analyses all sources of international law and presents a thorough systematization of the standards contained therein. In doing so, he consolidates the main concepts, rules and duties supporting each pillar, including those that are not expressly mentioned in international treaties but are derived from them, the jurisprudence of international and regional tribunals, widely respected sources of soft law, and State practice.
