Madrid, España
This article examines how the Right to Justice has been recognized and implemented in Spain for victims of serious human rights violations and/or international crimes committed during the Spanish Civil War and the Francoist dictatorship. It takes the enactment of the Law of Democratic Memory as a key temporal reference point, examining the legal and institutional context before —and especially after— its adoption and enter into force. The Spanish case is then evaluated in light of the applicable international legal framework governing such cases.
