Abstract

Criminal prosecution process for crimes against humanity in post-authoritarian democracies have a series of key factors to achieve historical effectiveness. In this article, both structural and agency factors are embraced it, reviewing three theoretical and normative approaches to transitional justice. Regarding them, the position of the authors is that the institutional historical approach allows us to more precisely address the reason for the increase in judicial accountability for crimes against humanity worldwide. On this, it is concluded that the transnational human rights movement and the adoption of international treaties contribute significantly to the development of strategies and effective criminal actions against impunity, and that the institutional historical approach manages to operationally overlap the large number of dimensions to explain the considerable increase in prosecutions for human rights violations.

Keywords:

Human rights, transitional justice, transnational social movements, historical-institutional approach
