understanding of this right, particularly the aspects mentioned in the preceding paragraph.
To that end, the Office recommends that one or several in-depth studies be conducted on
the following aspects of the right to the truth:
(a) The contribution of criminal justice systems - both national and international to the implementation and effective protection of the right to the truth and particularly the
role of victims and their families in criminal proceedings;
(b) The question of records and the right to the truth, with a view to the creation of
guidelines on protecting records concerning human rights violations;
(c) Institutional means, procedures and mechanisms to improve the
implementation of the right to the truth - on the individual and the societal levels - taking
account of national experiences and developments in international law.
