Abstract
This book analyzes the emergence of the right to the truth regarding gross human rights violations in International Human Rights Law, focusing on the different mobilizations and strategies that have led to its recognition. Through a cartography of the agents that promoted the creation of this new subjective right, their claims and forms of action over time, the book argues that the diversity of causes and the tensions between them help to explain the plurality of representations that the right to the truth has acquired.
