Justicia Postransicional y Políticas de la memoria
Dossier coordinado por Juan Mario Solís Delgadillo y Elena Martínez Barahona
En los últimos años, muchos investigadores se han dado a la tarea de estudiar los regímenes no democráticos y sus legados, y también lo han hecho algunos gobiernos con la puesta en marcha de Comisiones de la Verdad, que han tenido como objetivo, más o menos homogéneo, establecer la verdad sobre el fenómeno represor que durante la segunda mitad del siglo XX se experimentó en muchas regiones del mundo y con mucha notoriedad en América Latina.

El presente dossier tiene como objetivo contribuir a los debates en torno al estado que guarda la justicia postransicional, así como el desarrollo de las políticas públicas hacia el pasado en al menos siete países de la región: Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina, Chile, El Salvador, Guatemala y México, pero también intenta exponer algunos aportes teóricos que permitan profundizar en el estudio de un tema con muchísimas aristas como éste. Todos los trabajos aquí presentados han sido recientemente publicados en la revista América Latina Hoy (núm. 61, agosto 2012) que edita el Instituto de Iberoamérica de la Universidad de Salamanca (…).

A Colombian army general acquitted today in one of the country’s most infamous human rights cases “actively” collaborated with paramilitary death squads responsible for dozens of massacres, according to formerly secret U.S. records obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by the National Security Archive.
Once the third-highest-ranking officer in the Colombian military and later a top adviser to President Álvaro Uribe’s Department of Administrative Security (DAS), Iván Ramírez Quintero was acquitted today in the torture and disappearance of Irma Franco, one of several people detained by the army during the November 1985 Palace of Justice disaster (…)

The University of Texas at Austin – Documentos Digitalizados del Archivo Histórico de la Policía Nacional de Guatemala

Lillas

A product of broad international collaboration, these digitized documents from the Guatemalan National Police Historical Archive (AHPN) aim to facilitate scholarly and legal research into a vast cache of historical documentation. The discovery of the National Police Historical Archive in 2005 opened an extensive and timely resource for the study of Guatemalan history and human rights in the region, spanning a broad array of topics from Guatemala’s armed conflict between 1960 and 1996 to the sexually transmitted disease experiments performed at the behest of the United States government in the 1940s. The Archive is presented online here for the first time.

This site currently includes over 10 million scanned images of documents from the National Police Historical Archive. This digital archive mirrors and extends the physical archive that remains preserved in Guatemala as an important historical patrimony of the Guatemalan people.

To make best use of this resource, we suggest taking some time to read the tutorial and examples found on the About this Site page, learning the organizational structure of the National Police, and then patiently exploring the archive. This is not a full text search engine like Google, but rather the digital iteration of what you would encounter working in the massive paper archive in Guatemala. When you go to an archive, you will seldom find the exact document you are looking for right away. It will often take many hours of investigation to find relevant documents, if they exist at all. This Archive is arranged in accordance with the professional archival principles of provenance and original order to reflect the Guatemalan National Police administrative structure, and understanding that structure is a valuable way to start.

AHPN: Digitized Documents is a collaborative project of the University of Texas’ Lozano Long Institute for Latin American Studies, Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice, and Benson Latin American Collection, with the Archivo Histórico de la Policía Nacional de Guatemala. We hope this resource will serve to promote a better understanding of the social and political history of Guatemala and will facilitate the search for truth and respect for human rights in the region.
