Abstract

The objective of this article is to analyze the ontological process and permeability that the culture of peace has shown in the idiosyncrasy of the Mexican people during the implementation of restorative justice in its legal, political, and social systems. The social context and conjunctural climate in which the restorative paradigm has been progressively implemented in Mexican legal culture is examined, accompanied by a critical analysis of existing contradictions among certain juridical figures in national legislation, the latter remnants of the preceding inquisitive system which was remunerative in nature. Finally, a series of factual and juridical proposals for the viable implementation of this system are proposed to strengthen the new restorative ideology that authorities in Mexico intend to incorporate in support of the long-awaited culture of peace.
