Finalidades de la medida de aseguramiento de detención preventiva en el marco del sistema procedimental penal acusatorio colombiano. Aspectos teóricos y jurisprudenciales en ámbito nacional y en el derecho internacional de los derechos humanos

Abstract

The present research work pursues the study and assessment of the relationship between, on one hand, the criminal law figure of preventive detention and, on the other, the presumption of innocence with the purpose of establishing whether the restriction to personal liberty of a person still subject to criminal proceedings but not yet condemned is consistent with the international standard of protection. In other word, the final purpose of this study is to determine whether the relationship between the legal institutions referred to above is one of compatibility or one of contradiction and mutual rejection. To this effect, preventive detention is approached from an analytical method in order to conceptualize its reach and scope and to offer a legally supported answer to the problem.
