This article attempts to provide a more complete understanding of the so-called right to the truth deriving from court-made doctrine in the human rights field, and associated with an alternative form of legal proceeding in Argentina that has no equivalent anywhere else in the world: the trial for the truth ( juicio por la verdad ),  a procedure sui generis  created in the aftermath of the military dictatorship as a reaction to both the politics of forgetting that prevailed in the 1990s and the continuing obstruction of criminal proceedings with amnesty laws that prevailed down to 2003. Protecting the right to the truth fulfils three functions: first, it reconciles amnesties with the right to judicial protection; second, it constitutes the condition for real access to justice; and third, it validates the reality of the crime. Each of these functions is associated with one of the three elements, which, together, comprise the struggle against impunity: investigation, sanction and reparation. Situated between truth commissions and classic criminal proceedings, symbolic reparation and retribution, the Argentinian trials for the truth offer a new way of conceiving both the criminal law judge's mission and the relations among law, truth, history and memory in the context of the rich debates about (post-)transitional justice.
