Il riconoscimento del diritto alla verità dall’America latina all’Europa. Evoluzioni e prospettive di un diritto in via di definizione

This essay analyses the normative sources that outline the right to the truth and considers the case law on the subject. By looking first at the Inter-American system, specific attention is paid to the perspective adopted by the Strasbourg Court in reading the search for truth within the framework of the ECHR system. Moreover, the essay investigates the potential of this right as a catalyst of institutional trust in mature democracies. The paper concludes by welcoming the attitude of the European Court of Human Rights.
