Tanto la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos (en adelante Corte Interamericana) como la Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos (en adelante Comisión Interamericana) han reiterado la exclusiva relación existente entre la democracia, y la vigencia y respeto de los derechos humanos. Pero la historia de los países del Hemisferio se ha caracterizado por múltiples y reiteradas rupturas del orden democrático e institucional, situaciones de conflicto armado de carácter no internacional, guerras civiles y situaciones de violencia generalizada que se desarrollaron por largos períodos de tiempo, y que, en algunos casos, todavía continúan vigentes. En esas circunstancias, ha sido frecuente la violación masiva y sistemática de derechos humanos y la comisión de graves infracciones al derecho internacional humanitario. De manera que, el derecho a la verdad ha surgido como respuesta frente a la falta de esclarecimiento, investigación, juzgamiento y sanción de los casos de graves violaciones de derechos humanos e infracciones al DIH por parte de los Estados. Es a través de los esfuerzos para combatir la impunidad que los órganos del sistema interamericano han desarrollado estándares regionales que dan contenido al derecho a la verdad, y los Estados y la sociedad civil han desarrollado enfoques e iniciativas para implementarlos en una amplia gama de conceptos. Asimismo, el derecho a la verdad constituye uno de los pilares de los mecanismos de justicia transicional. The Inter-American Court of Human Rights (Inter-American court) and the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (Inter-American Commission) have reiterated the direct relationship between democracy and the respect of human rights. However, the history of countries from the southern hemisphere has been characterized by multiple violations of the democratic and institutional order, civil wars, and long violent conflicts which in some cases have not been resolved. In these circumstances, the massive violation of human rights has been frequent and serious infractions of International human rights have been performed. Therefore, the right to truth has emerged as an answer to the lack of transparency, investigation, prosecution, and conviction of cases of serious violations of human rights and infractions of DIH by the Nations. Because of the effort demonstrated by the members of the Inter-American system to combat this impunity, regional standards have been developed that give meaning to the right to truth, and the Nations and society have developed initiatives to widely implement them. The right to truth constitutes one of the pillars of the mechanisms of transitional justice.
