Access to Information on Human Rights Violations

This chapter addresses the thesis that under any circumstances, but especially in processes of transition to democracy, victims and their relatives have the right to know information related to serious violations of human rights contained in the State's archives. In addition, while explaining the different state obligations, it discusses the incorporation of those international standards in the case Gomes Lund et al (Guerrilha do Araguaia). v. Brazil issued by the Inter-American Court.
