La lección del ‘nunca más’ una aproximación interdisciplinar al contenido y alcance jurídico internacional de la obligación estatal de garantizar la no repetición a través de la educación en memoria

Education for memory is considered a key tool to prevent the repetition of serious human rights violations. However, from the international legal point of view, the content of the State’s obligation to guarantee non-repetition in this way is still very vague. Likewise, the formal incorporation of memory issues in educational curricula does not seem to necessarily guarantee such preventive effect. The proposed project seeks to determine the legal scope of this obligation based on its interaction with other human rights, evaluate its impact on the prevention of serious human rights violations and identify the didactic strategies that would be most appropriate to ensure that its implementation achieves the desired prevention, with a view to designing a public policy model for education for memory capable of meeting international regulatory requirements. To this end, we will carry out a comparative study of four case studies (Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Spain), chosen for sharing a dictatorial past whose memory, however, has received a very different treatment in each educational system. In addition, the comparative study of these countries has the added interest of their different socio-political realities at present (although certain confluent trends can be observed between them) in which the dictatorial past acquires its own and particular dimension.
