Abstract

This article argues the idea of ​​a need to forget in the search for justice within the framework of the processes of truth, justice and reparation. The concept of mnemic lightness is proposed and developed from the philosophy of Paul Ricœur, the Cognitive psychology of memory, the General theory of systems and Narrative therapy. It is concluded that the light memory can constitute itself to the reparation of the victims of the conflict.
