This book critically examines transitional justice in Mexico. It
explores how the Mexican democratic regime dealt with the grave
human rights violations perpetrated by security forces during the
authoritarian era (1929-2000) through a Special Prosecutor's
Office. It offers a complete account of the diverse factors that
facilitated the emergence (and policing) of Mexico's transitional
justice process. Whilst transitional justice should contribute to
the advancement of liberal democracy and, consequently, generate
the following benefits: truth, justice, political reconciliation,
peace, this book argues that Mexico is a case of transitional
injustice. It is an example of how in some societies transitional
justice mechanisms are intentionally implemented in ways that,
instead of generating justice, produce impunity. It makes important
contributions to some of the broader debates addressed by scholars
on transitional justice and gives them reason to re-examine
transitional justice processes in other countries in a new light.
