Confessions of torturers: reflections from Argentina (original) (raw)

This paper explores the complex role of torturers' confessions in truth and reconciliation processes in post-authoritarian contexts, particularly in Argentina. It outlines the potential contributions of these confessions to establishing truth, acknowledging victims, promoting justice, and creating collective memory. However, the paper also critiques the logic behind integrating these confessions into reconciliation frameworks while discussing conditions under which they may still facilitate healing and reconciliation.
