Abstract
Este artículo aborda la tensión entre la persecución penal de las graves violaciones de los derechos humanos y las amnistías en el ámbito de la justicia transicional. En los últimos años ha habido una importante actividad de la comunidad internacional en la lucha contra la impunidad y la defensa de los derechos de las víctimas de graves violaciones de los derechos humanos que parecen haber cambiado la percepción sobre las amnistías y favorecer en todo caso la persecución penal. Por supuesto, los argumentos para justificar dicha persecución penal son convincentes, pero la intención de este artículo es explorar algunos argumentos que, no obstante, aportarían buenas razones para justificar cierto tipo de amnistías que podrían considerarse conformes con la legalidad internacional bajo el cumplimiento de ciertas condiciones y limitaciones.
This articles deals with the tension between criminal prosecution of grave breaches of human rights and amnesties in the field of transitional justice. In recent years, there have been a very important activity in the international community on the fight against impunity and the defense of victims’ rights that seems to have changed the perception on amnesties favoring criminal prosecution in every case. Of couse, arguments to justify such criminal prosecution are convincing, but the intention of the author in this article is to explore some arguments that would provide good reasons to justify certain types of amnesties possibly considered in accordance to international law under the fulfillment of certain conditions and limitations.
