Muestra, a partir de un análisis de la justificación moral, de la justificación política y del contexto, que si buenas razones, en primer análisis, pueden empujar a defender la idea de un derecho a la memoria, su reconocimiento puede plantear problemas jurídicos al nuevo orden democrático, así como plantear problemas políticos, susceptibles de afectar la transición democrática. Concluye que la justicia de transición no debería considerar que este derecho a la memoria ha de estar automáticamente garantizado, debería estar regulado en función del objetivo de establecer eficazmente un nuevo orden democrático fundado sobre el respeto de los derechos humanos.Universidad Externado de Colombia2014text (article)application/pdfhttp://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=4765448(Revista) ISSN 0122-9893Revista Derecho del Estado, ISSN 0122-9893, Nº. 32, 2014, pags. 145-156spaLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
