Abstract
This chapter describes some of the developments occurring in the region and, in particular, to highlight the questions that the inter-American system and local courts have asked throughout this process. For a large part of the Latin American experience, criminal justice seems to express a relevant manifestation of the aspiration of justice for a violent past. Criminal prosecution is, perhaps, the most direct, problematic, and debated tool in a transitional context. Transitional justice also recognizes the rights of victims of systematic human rights violations and the right to effective and adequate reparations. Reparations help to prevent the recurrence of violations and can be aimed both at individuals as well as communities or groups of people. According to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, reparations tend to erase the effects of past violations, which is why their nature and amount should depend on the material and immaterial damage caused.
