Abstract

By the end of the civil-military dictatorships started in the Southern Cone during the Cold War, the traces of the political violence occurred under the application of the National Security Doctrine (NSD) begun to be faced. Just as the transition processes practiced in each context were different, so were the manners according to which the demands for memory, truth and justice came to be in each country. The present article analyzes the possibilities of recomposing the memory in the Brazilian and Argentinean cases, by identifying how the Judiciary has manifested itself in front of causes proposed by victims of repression, by their relatives or by human rights organizations.
