(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-06-10) Acosta Nieto, Luis Fernando; Pabon Moreno, Valentina; Cortes Borrero, Rodrigo; Universidad Santo Tómás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001585622; https://scholar.google.es/citations?user=r3mwh2aaaaaj&hl=es; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9122-5648
This research analyzes the relationship between the Municipal Ombudsman's Office (Personería Municipal) and the protection of fundamental rights, focusing on the case of Villavicencio, Colombia. Based on a review of the constitutional and legal framework governing the Public Ministry at the local level, the study examines the competencies, limits, and legal mechanisms available to municipal ombudsmen in safeguarding citizens' fundamental rights. The research considers the normative foundations established in the 1991 Political Constitution and relevant laws such as Laws 136 of 1994, 489 of 1998, 472 of 1998, and 2422 of 2024, as well as constitutional case law. It further explores the specific legal tools used by municipal ombudsmen, including tutela actions, popular and group actions, disciplinary intervention, administrative oversight, participation in judicial and administrative proceedings, and citizen assistance and conciliation. The analysis of the Villavicencio case demonstrates that the Municipal Ombudsman's Office plays an active and meaningful role in protecting rights such as health and access to public services. The study concludes that the Personería Municipal functions as a key territorial institution within the Social Rule of Law, contributing both directly and indirectly to the effective protection of fundamental rights.
Análisis de la política pública de la prestación de los servicios públicos domiciliarios en el municipio de Villavicencio
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-06-01) González Herran, Karen Yajaira; Rojas Torres, Luis Alfonso; Cortes Borrero, Rodrigo; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001585622; https://scholar.google.es/citations?user=r3mwh2aaaaaj&hl=es; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9122-5648
This article examines the quality of public utility services in the municipality of Villavicencio, thereby evaluating the benefits of receiving these services and the criticisms they currently face regarding their provision. In this way, some notions and regulatory foundations are presented, since these companies play a fundamental role in fulfilling the essential purposes of the state, as these services must be continuous, effective, and equitable. However, there are concerns about whether the companies comply with the aforementioned principles. On the other hand, criticisms such as fiscal inequity, corruption, and lack of coverage are addressed. Finally, a relationship between the positive and negative aspects of providing these services is presented, thus offering a detailed and comprehensive view of the subject of this article
La vulneración de la dignidad humana frente al acoso laboral en contratos de prestación de servicios en el sector público colombiano: un análisis desde el derecho administrativo
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-06-01) Torres Bautista, Daniela; Bocachica Méndez, Laura Vanessa; Cortés Borrero, Rodrigo; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001585622; https://scholar.google.es/citations?user=r3mwh2aaaaaj&hl=es; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9122-5648
This article focuses on the analysis of workplace harassment, specifically in the context of service contracts within Colombian public institutions, adopting an approach rooted in administrative law. Specifically, it examines the complex relationship between the legal nature of these agreements—characterized by the contractor’s independence—and the actual experiences of subjugation that could lead to acts of workplace harassment, directly undermining the fundamental right to human dignity. This study identifies the legislative gaps in Law 1010 of 2006, focusing on its formal ineffectiveness for government contractors, and evaluates how constitutional jurisprudence has acted to address these deficiencies by applying principles such as the primacy of reality over formality. Likewise, it examines the duty of the public administration in these scenarios, in light of the principles of legality, equality, and administrative function. Accordingly, legal tools are proposed to strengthen contractors’ legal defense against workplace harassment. These are based on a review of the current regulatory context and also on an assessment of everyday working conditions.
Los retos jurídicos de la transición energética en la contratación pública colombiana
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-06-01) Medina Araque, Julieth Alejandra; Herreño Herreño, Stiven; Cortes Borrero, Rodrigo; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001585622; https://scholar.google.es/citations?user=r3mwh2aaaaaj&hl=es; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9122-5648
The energy transition has become a priority for the Colombian State within the framework of environmental protection and sustainable development. For this reason, public procurement serves as a key instrument for the materialization and implementation of policies aimed at promoting clean energy, ensuring energy sustainability, and fostering technological creation and innovation. Nevertheless, the development and incorporation of these criteria into public procurement processes give rise to significant legal challenges. These challenges require maintaining coherence between environmental sustainability objectives and the principles governing public procurement, including objective selection, planning, transparency, and fiscal sustainability. Given that energy transition policies involve highly specialized matters and a considerable degree of technical complexity and considering that this is a relatively recent issue in Colombia, their incorporation into public procurement must be approached with heightened legal and technical rigor. An inadequate contractual design or execution may result not only in fiscal liabilities, but also in environmental and social impacts arising from the shift from traditional energy sources to sustainable energy models. This article aims to analyze the legal challenges faced by Colombian public procurement in the context of the energy transition, through the examination of the current regulatory framework, the instrumental role of public procurement, and the function of administrative law principles in the implementation of sustainability policies. Finally, this study highlights the need to move toward a harmonious and evolutionary interpretation of the public procurement regime, one that reconciles the objectives of the energy transition with legality, administrative efficiency, and legal certainty, thereby strengthening public procurement as a legitimate mechanism for economic, social, and environmental transformation.
Evaluación de la reparación integral de víctimas en Colombia: analisis del proceso maariv y modelos comparados de Perú
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-01-22) Vásquez Osorio, Rubén Parmenio; Peña Mateus, Daniel Enrique; Cortes Borrero, Rodrigo; Universidad Santo Tómás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001585622; https://scholar.google.es/citations?user=r3mwh2aaaaaj&hl=es; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9122-5648
This paper examines how the MAARIV Model works and compares it with the Comprehensive Reparations Plan used in Peru. The goal is to test whether, beyond what the rules state, these models allow people affected by the problem to recover their rights and live a better life. In the case of Colombia, we see that although there is a strong rule and a clear desire to help those affected, there are problems such as referrals, complicated procedures, and a lot of focus on monetary funds, leaving aside aspects such as going to the doctor, studying, or owning a home. On the one hand, Peru has been able to combine common and symbolic compensations more closely, strengthening the social fabric and the memory of the communities' past. From this contrast, we offer some ideas for making Colombia's system more effective, accessible, and consummated, thus ensuring a true return of victims' rights. This study examines how the Method of Care, Assistance, and Comprehensive Settlement for Victims (MAARIV) works in Colombia and combines it with the Total Settlement Plan (PIR) in Peru. The idea is to see if, in addition to what the regulations state, these methods do protect victims of the conflict, as well as restore their rights and help them recover their lives. In the Colombian case, we see that while there is a strict law and a stoic desire to help victims, in real life there are complications such as delays, complicated paperwork, and a great deal of use for money, forgetting other significant things like going to the doctor, studying, or owning a home. On the one hand, Peru has been able to better link corporate and allegorical compensation, strengthening the social fabric and the memory of the communities' past. Based on this distinction, we present some ideas to make the Colombian system faster, more accessible, and more fulfilling, so that victims can enjoy a true restoration of their rights.
La procuraduría general de la nación frente a las sanciones administrativas de los servidores públicos elegidos por elección popular: análisis sobre la destitución e inhabilidad
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-05-06) Castro Perafan, Karol Natalia; Alonso Gómez, Julian Eduardo; Cortes Borrero, Rodrigo; Universidd Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001585622; https://scholar.google.es/citations?user=r3mwh2aaaaaj&hl=es; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9122-5648
The present research aims to analyze the consequences imposed on the Colombian State in the judgment of the case Gustavo Petro vs. Colombia, issued on July 8, 2020, by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, in which the Court found the State responsible for violating Mr. Petro’s political rights. These rights were affected as a result of the disciplinary sanction of removal from office as Mayor of Bogotá, D.C., and disqualification for a period of fifteen years from holding public office, imposed by the Office of the Inspector General of the Nation (Procuraduría General de la Nación). In this regard, it is particularly relevant to assess the effects of the conclusions reached by the Inter-American Court, as the rules that empower the oversight body to impose such sanctions on democratically elected officials have a practical effect of disqualifying them from exercising their political rights. Consequently, this constitutes a violation of Article 23 of the American Convention on Human Rights, as removal and general disqualification may only be imposed by a criminal judicial authority through a final conviction, independently of the violation of the principle of jurisdictionality, the guarantee of impartiality, the presumption of innocence, and the right to defense.
Uso prolongado del encargo y su efecto sobre el merito en la carrera administrativa
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-03-16) Arosa Acuña, Sharon; Méndez Martínez, Lady Vanessa; Cortes Borrero, Rodrigo; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001585622; https://scholar.google.es/citations?user=r3mwh2aaaaaj&hl=es; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9122-5648
This article analyzes the concept of appointment in public administration and its undue extension in relation to the administrative career, which is based on the principle of merit, as well as the consequences this practice has on access to and stability in public employment. It addresses the nature of each of these forms of access to public office, the current legal framework, and relevant jurisprudence, which demonstrate how the widespread use of appointment distorts its exceptional and transitory nature and violates fundamental constitutional principles
Efectos en las Licitaciones Públicas en Pliegos Tipo de Obra
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2025-06-12) Lombana Rincon, Sergio Andres; Cortés Borrero, Rodrigo; Universidad Santo Tomas; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001585622; https://scholar.google.es/citations?user=r3mwh2aaaaaj&hl=es; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9122-5648
This document analyzes the negative effects that have arisen from the implementation of standard bidding documents in public bidding processes in Colombia. Although this tool was designed to promote transparency, plurality of bidders and standardization of requirements, several problems have been identified that compromise its effectiveness and relevance in certain territorial contexts. Among the most relevant effects is the limitation of the autonomy of the contracting entities to adapt the bidding terms to the specific conditions of the project, which may result in an unjustified exclusion of small bidders and an inefficient use of public resources. Particular attention is devoted to the phenomenon of collusion among bidders, an anticompetitive practice that, paradoxically, may be facilitated by the standardization of requirements. Despite the fact that criminal and administrative legislation penalizes these behaviors, the current regulatory framework does not provide public entities with sufficient mechanisms to reject proposals when there are reasonable indications of illicit collusion. In view of this scenario, the document proposes a series of public strategies aimed at mitigating risks, among them: institutional strengthening of territorial entities, incorporation of technologies for process traceability, preventive fiscal control, citizen participation and periodic and participatory review of standard bidding documents. The study concludes that the standard bidding documents should be maintained as an instrument to guarantee transparency in government contracting, but their application should be flexible, contextualized and accompanied by reforms that allow for their continuous improvement, thus ensuring a more equitable and efficient public contracting, adjusted to the general interest.

(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2025-11-22) Cedano Aguilar, Jose Luis; Cortes Borrero, Rodrigo; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001585622; https://scholar.google.es/citations?user=r3mwh2aaaaaj&hl=es; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9122-5648
The new tendencies in Colombian Administrative Law are born to legal life, being Law 1437 of 2011 (Congress of the Republic of Colombia, 2011), a great advance in the issue of the harmonization of Administrative Law, with the content of the Political Constitution of Colombia, of nineteen ninety-one (1991), with which the Colombian judicial system caused the modernization and updating of the procedures of the institutions and entities of the State and its division, within the law and thereby seek to improve the processes carried out by the judicial authorities, understanding that administrative law is linked to the public administration, with which the efficiency of the public administration is guaranteed, in its relationship with the processes and the link that they have with individuals, in turn contributing to the decongestion of public offices and the agility in the processes, both administratively and judicially, which is why New regulations and laws have been issued that lead to this result, and proof of this is Law 2080 of 2021 (Congress of the Republic of Colombia, 2021) These modifications are based on favorable results, which derive from Legislative Decree 806 of 2020 (Congress of the Republic of Colombia, 2020) and the issuance and application of Law 2213 of 2022, which establishes the permanent validity of Legislative Decree 806 of 2020 and adopts measures to implement information and communication technologies in judicial proceedings, streamline judicial processes and make more flexible the attention to users of the justice service and other provisions are issued" with which the operation of administrative actions and the system of administration of justice is taken into account.
El régimen jurídico de las regalías en Colombia y su impacto en el desarrollo territorial
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-03-24) Castro Cifuentes, Lenito Eliecer; Díaz Gámez, Eduard Andersson; Cortes Borrero, Rodrigo; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001585622; https://scholar.google.es/citations?user=r3mwh2aaaaaj&hl=es; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9122-5648
The purpose of this research paper is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the legal framework for royalties in Colombia, addressing their constitutional basis and their legal and regulatory development. In this context, we will study the regulatory evolution of the royalty regime and its current configuration within the Colombian legal system, in order to understand its legal nature, central focus, and function within the system. Similarly, it will identify the relevant case law of the Constitutional Court and the Council of State, identifying the interpretative criteria that have defined royalties as economic compensation in favor of the State. Additionally, the research will analyze the mechanisms for planning, allocating, executing, and controlling these resources, with special emphasis on the principles of transparency, efficiency, accountability, and territorial equity that guide their administration. Finally, the study will make it possible to assess whether the current regulatory framework guarantees adequate redistribution of national wealth and sustainable development, and whether it embodies the principles of territorial autonomy and administrative decentralization, formulating, from a constitutional perspective, possible proposals for institutional strengthening or adjustment..
El plazo presuntivo en los contratos de trabajadores oficiales en colombia: efectos sobre la estabilidad laboral y la seguridad jurídica
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-01-16) Suescun Rojas, Juan Diego Orlando; Cortes Borrero, Rodrigo; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001585622; https://scholar.google.es/citations?user=r3MWh2AAAAAJ&hl=es; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9122-5648
This article critically examines the “plazo presuntivo” (presumptive term) applied to government workers’ employment contracts in Colombia. Using a juridical-critical methodology that combines statutory review, key case law analysis, and practical effect assessment, the study argues that the presumptive term—rooted in Decree 2127/1945—creates an institutional tension between administrative certainty and the constitutional guarantee of job stability. The paper proposes interpretative and legislative measures to reconcile administrative efficiency with labor protection.
Ineficiencia administrativa en la implementación del acuerdo de paz de 2016 - impactos en la garantía de derechos humanos y reconfiguración del conflicto armado en Colombia
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-01-13) Álvarez Cárdenas, Diego Humberto; Ramírez Castro, William David; Cortés Borrero, Rodrigo; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001585622; https://scholar.google.es/citations?user=r3mwh2aaaaaj&hl=es; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9122-5648
The signing of the Final Agreement to End the Conflict and Build a Stable and Lasting Peace in 2016 marked the culmination of historic commitments by the Colombian State to bring an end to armed violence and to guarantee respect for human rights. However, the limited scope and effectiveness of its implementation have affected the measures adopted. This research analyzes the administrative challenges, focusing on the lack of planning, coordination, and execution of the Agreement’s provisions, as well as the consequences of these shortcomings for the protection of civilians in areas that have been historically affected by the conflict. The study first examines the historical context of the conflict and the nature of the commitments assumed by the State, and then analyzes the poor administrative performance that has contributed to the persistence of phenomena such as the reconfiguration of armed groups, the resurgence of forced displacement, and the increase in violations of fundamental rights. In addition, case studies are conducted in prioritized regions in order to identify recurring patterns and institutional gaps that hinder the construction of peace. Taking these considerations into account, this proposal seeks to focus on strengthening the State’s administrative capacity, improving the management of programs derived from the Agreement, and, in turn, safeguarding the rights of the most vulnerable communities. Ultimately, the objective is to provide critical and constructive reflections that contribute to improving the implementation of public policies in the post-conflict context.
Economia circular en los contratos estatales del Departamento del Meta
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2025-12-17) Carrero Villareal, Elena; Silva Correal, Julieth; Cortes Borrero, Rodrigo; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarcurriculocv.do?cod_rh=0001585622; https://scholar.google.es/citations?user=r3mwh2aaaaaj&hl=es; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9122-5648
This academic exercise seeks to analyze the incorporation of circular economy strategies into public procurement processes in the Department of Meta. The objective is to propose and promote sustainability, the efficient use of public resources, and a positive social impact in this department and, why not, in the region. The final reflections show that the circular economy, as an alternative model to the traditional approach, could generate significant results, especially in strategic sectors such as infrastructure, public services, and waste management. Its implementation in the Department's public procurement could have a substantial impact on waste reduction and resource optimization, in addition to providing social benefits, especially in vulnerable communities. It is concluded that the circular economy constitutes an optimal legal and technical tool for strengthening the fulfillment of the State's objectives, improving equity in public management, and moving toward a sustainable development model at the regional level. Thus, it is pertinent to progressively implement these types of strategies in contractual processes, starting now, through regional policies and the adoption of regulatory adjustments that promote environmental protection, social well-being, and comprehensive and sustainable public management.
Responsabilidad de alcaldes en declaratoria de calamidad pública
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2025-12-15) Linna Gabriela, Beltran Villarraga; Liliana María, Rojas Villalobos; Cortes Borrero, Rodrigo; Universidad Santo Tomas; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001585622; https://scholar.google.es/citations?user=r3mwh2aaaaaj&hl=es; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9122-5648
The disciplinary responsibility of municipal mayors is essential to guaranteeing the legality, transparency, and proper functioning of public administration. In exceptional circumstances, such as emergencies caused by natural disasters or health crises, local leaders have the legal and ethical obligation to declare a state of public calamity when the necessary conditions arise. The unjustified failure to do so not only jeopardizes the protection of the lives, safety, and property of the population, but also constitutes a disciplinary offense, subject to sanctions under current law. This study examines the scope of this responsibility by analyzing the applicable legal framework and the disciplinary consequences that may befall mayors who fail to fulfill this fundamental duty.
Horas extras en el empleo público territorial aplicado a las funciones permanentes; un análisis constitucional y jurisprudencial.
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2025-12-13) Quiñonez Urueña, Camilo Andres; Teran Vásquez, Karina Esther; Cortes Borrero, Rodrigo; Universidad Santo Tómás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001585622; https://scholar.google.es/citations?user=r3mwh2aaaaaj&hl=es; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9122-5648
This article examines the legal feasibility of recognizing and paying overtime to professional-level public servants in Colombia’s territorial entities, contrasting such treatment with that afforded to auxiliary-level employees. The core issue is a potential inequality; professionals are often excluded from overtime payment on the grounds of leadership, trust, managerial roles or permanent and continuous attention to public services. Relying on constitutional principles, the constitutionality block (ILO standards), and case law from the Constitutional Court and the Council of State, the paper applies an equality test to assess whether the exclusion passes constitutional scrutiny.
Servidumbres de hidrocarburos: análisis crítico de la ocupación anticipada en Colombia
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2025-12-12) Maldonado Nieves, Carlos Humberto; Rojas Correa, Yerly Yulitza; Cortes Borrero, Rodrigo; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001585622; https://scholar.google.es/citations?user=r3MWh2AAAAAJ&hl=es; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/gruplac/jsp/visualiza/visualizagr.jsp?nro=00000000013120; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9122-5648
This thesis analyzes the legal framework of hydrocarbon easements in Colombia, with special emphasis on the figure of the provisional occupation of land established in Article 5 of Law 1274 of 2009. Based on a constitutional, legal, and jurisprudential study, it examines the compatibility of this figure with the principles of due process, prior compensation, and the social function of private property, as well as the legal certainty of citizens. The research develops a theoretical framework that traces the historical background of petroleum easements in the country, from the Petroleum Code of 1953 to current legislation, and contrasts this evolution with the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court and the Council of State. As a result, it proposes the elimination of provisional occupation and its replacement with a procedure that conditions access to land on a final judicial decision that establishes prior compensation. This proposal seeks to strengthen the protection of fundamental rights, reduce social conflict, ensure greater legal certainty, and harmonize extractive activity with respect for private property.
Análisis jurídico-administrativo del enfoque diferencial de género y discapacidad en las actuaciones del Municipio de Puerto Lleras durante el periodo 2020–2023
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2025-12-18) Rincon, Juliana Maria; Casallas Parra, Angie Natalia; Cortes Borrero, Rodrigo; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001585622; https://scholar.google.es/citations?user=r3mwh2aaaaaj&hl=es; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9122-5648
This study analyzes, from a legal-administrative perspective, the extent to which the local government of Puerto Lleras incorporated a differential approach to gender and disability in its administrative actions during the 2020–2023 period. Through a review of historical and legal developments, the paper explores how administrative law has evolved towards a more inclusive framework, and whether this evolution is reflected in the local public policies. The research examines official planning and policy instruments and contrasts them with constitutional, legal, and international standards that require real equality, effective participation, and nondiscrimination. The study concludes with a critical assessment of compliance and offers legal recommendations to strengthen inclusive territorial governance.
El Derecho a la defensa técnica en el Estatuto Disciplinario Policial
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2025-12-03) Rincon Barreto, Jaydin Arturo; Cortés Borrero, Rodrigo; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001585622; https://scholar.google.es/citations?user=r3mwh2aaaaaj&hl=es; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9122-5648
This article analyzes the regulatory evolution of the disciplinary regime in Colombia and the guarantee of the right to technical defense. Through a comparative study of Law 1952 of 2019 and Law 2196 of 2022, it evaluates whether the express omission of technical defense in the latter violates due process for the uniformed personnel of the National Police of Colombia. Jurisprudence is examined, and the impact of the police hierarchical structure on the impartiality of disciplinary proceedings is considered. Finally, it concludes that regulatory ambiguity can lead to restrictive interpretations that affect the guarantee of defense, and proposes mechanisms to strengthen the autonomy of the disciplinary decision-maker and ensure respect for fundamental rights.
Ordenamiento territorial y sostenibilidad ambiental en Villavicencio
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2025-12-15) Laguna Garcia, Kevin Mateo; Lizarazo Avila, William Jimmy; Cortes Borrero, Rodrigo; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001585622; https://scholar.google.es/citations?user=r3mwh2aaaaaj&hl=es; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9122-5648

Additionally, in suggests strengthening interinstitutional governance between Cormacarena and the Mayor’s Office through shared management agreements and geospatial information interoperability with in integrated approach considering watershed management and risk prevention. Fiscal and regulatory incentives are also proposed to promote sustainable urbanization, incorporating bioclimatic and ecological efficiency criteria. These measures are grounded in the principles of the ecological function of property and environmental justice, aiming for balanced and resilient urban model. Finally, the document emphasizes strengthening citizen participation through environmental observatories and social mobilization for the legal recognition of fundamental rights of Villavicencio’s water sources, fostering democratic, sustainable, and effective governance.
El estado como administrador del sistema pensional: desafíos jurídicos y perspectiva comparada frente a la reforma colombiana
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-01-16) Barón López, Julián Andrés; Cortés Borrero, Rodrigo; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001585622; https://scholar.google.es/citations?user=r3mwh2aaaaaj&hl=es; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9122-5648
This research article critically examines pension recognition as an administrative act within the Colombian pension system, particularly in light of the proposed reform that grants Colpensiones exclusive control over the pay-as-you-go component. The study begins with a doctrinal and jurisprudential analysis of the legal nature of pension resolutions, which are understood as individual administrative acts that directly affect the legal status of affiliates. These acts must comply with principles of legality, motivation, due process, and publicity, as established by the Colombian Administrative Procedure and Contentious Administrative Code (Law 1437 of 2011), and may implicate fundamental rights, especially for vulnerable populations. The article also explores the judicial review mechanisms available in Colombian administrative law to challenge pension decisions, including the action for annulment and reparation, the writ of protection (tutela), and the action for compliance. It anticipates a high level of litigation under the new pension model due to increased administrative activity, normative complexity, and growing legal awareness among citizens. A comparative law section analyzes public pension administration models in Japan, aiming to identify best practices, shared challenges, and lessons that may inform Colombia’s transition. This work contributes to the legal understanding of pension recognition as an administrative act and reflects on the institutional and regulatory challenges facing Colombia’s pension system as it moves toward a new public management framework.
