In the light of three contemporary Mexican writings, we will analyze the different manifestations and consequences that narcoviolence has had in contemporary Mexico. The chronicle El hombre sin cabeza by Sergio González Rodríguez (2009) will allow us, at first, to explore the ritual indications of tribalism practices that still exist for drug traffickers; then, with the novel Trabajos del reino by Yuri Herrera (2004), we can observe the problem of impunity and the elements that direct the machinery of domination from the State to the reigns of drug traffickers; and finally, from the novel Señales que precederán al fin del mundo, also by Herrera (2009), the self-exile and the recomposition of a new identity will be analyzed as a corollary of the dissatisfaction that the subjects who are victims of the marginality and injustices within the Mexican borders. Three narrative works that show the signs of a moral decapitation that is experienced every day in said space, both inside and outside its borders. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Three decades after the passage of Law 15 848, which prevented the application of justice, the present article proposes to revisit the issue from a commemorative present marked by the distance from a chronologically different generation in its classical Ortegan conception. To do this, we delimited two issues that we considered fundamental: the oscillating political discourse of the lawmakers, and an erratic rote discursive battle fought by the left, which in addition coincided with its arrival to power. Thirty years later, when a new generation emerged a "culture of impunity" consolidated no longer as a transient remnant, but as an organic component of today's cultural background. It was in charge of taking over, reappropriating and reworking the past for depuration. These variables came together to consolidate the silence of perpetrators and affirm their esprit de corps.

Impunity is increasingly being recognized as a phenomenon that is at once often both the cause and effect of some of the most serious problems in Latin America as well as in other parts of the world. This article examines some of the conceptual and methodological challenges involved in measuring the phenomenon of impunity, with a particular focus on Latin America. The analysis presented in this article also examines the correlation between impunity and other problems governments face, such as insecurity, violence, corruption and inequality. Finally, we examine the methodology of the 2015 Global Impunity Index that is a useful tool for analyzing these phenomena. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: to make clearly visible the recognition on legal grounds that protect the Right to Truth by identifying and analyzing them in the jurisprudence of the Inter- American Court of Human Rights. Methodology: in this documentary research, with a qualitative approach, data was collected from primary and secondary sources based on two categories of analysis, namely theoretical development of the Right to Truth and Arguments of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights to protect the Right to Truth. It was also conducted a study of the international jurisprudence. Results: results showed that protection of the Right to Truth in the Jurisprudence of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights is established by protecting related rights in accordance with the American Convention on Human Rights: the right to judicial guarantees, the right to access to information, the right to humane treatment, as well as the right to judicial protection. Conclusions: the jurisprudential development of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights on the Right to Truth has been implemented in cases of forced disappearances and extrajudicial executions. The foundations of this Court place the Right to Truth as a remedial action; and as a benefit subjected to other rights under the American Convention in order to ensure the States comply with the obligation to investigate the facts and prosecute those responsible, among other circumstances. Regarding the Judgment of the Court, it is possible to refer to a conditional autonomy of the Right to Truth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article discusses the notion of white collar crime and the mass media treatment of white collar criminals. He describes the image of white collar delinquents portrayed by the media including their political and international connectedness, their low sense of guilt and their expensive lifestyle. The author points out the key characteristics of this type of crime including the absence of physical violence, the social and economic cost and their low visibility in the media. He also reflects on the media treatment of criminality and justice administration in this type of crime in Ecuador

The article describes and reflects on the experience of psychosocial and therapeutic work carried out with victims of human rights violations during the military regime in Chile (1973-1990). This experience contributed to the inclusion of medical and psychological care in the State reparation policies since 1990. The evolution in the modes of treatment and psychosocial intervention are discussed in the light of the tasks and dilemmas which emerge in the context of political transition: recognition of and redress for victims, the truth or concealment of crimes, justice versus impunity; oblivion or different forms of memory and their impact on the lives of the victims and on the political reconciliation process.
