Abstract

This paper seeks to contribute to the study of the search of the truth as one of the essential goals of the criminal process. In order to achieve that, it examines the relation between the truth and probative conventions; and particularly the problematic generated by the incorporation of this new tool in the punitive process by substituting the factual verification of what the parties has been said in the process, where they agreement of what reality is; now the "reality" it is not verifiable, but rather it is a construction. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to denounce the tension between the goal of searching the truth and the acceptance of a probative convention as a mechanism to establish what has to be understood as truth for probative process.
