Summary: People who were directly or indirectly victims of gross violations of human rights or crimes against humani-ty require the right to know the truth and the opportunity to have the damages repaired who have suffered. The importance of recognizing this right in States and judicial systems lies in knowing and understanding the causes that led to these abuses, confronting them and preventing them from occurring again —guarantee of non-repetition—, avoiding impunity, preserving historical memory, as well as establish transparency and accountability mechanisms in the institutions that administer justice. In the investigation of crimes, the information contained in the preliminary investigations —now, investigation files— is considered classified unless it is considered, by law, that these are flagrant violations of human rights or crimes against humanity. Different legal mechanisms in Mexican Law help to guarantee the recognition and access to the “Right to the Truth”, a review of these, will help us to identify how appropriate they are or the deficiencies contained in them when exercising this right by of direct and indirect victims.
