The Victims of Drug Trafficking from A Transitional Justice Approach
Abstract
Transitional Justice is a legal and political approach employed in societies that have experienced violent conflicts, often stemming from authoritarian regimes, to address severe human rights violations committed during such periods. Its objective is to promote reconciliation and peacebuilding through a combination of legal and non-legal measures. This article argues that this approach is suitable for victims of drug trafficking, particularly in Mexico, and identifies the outstanding tasks related to restitution and reconciliation.
