Ni tierra para sembrar, ni vida para cosechar, ni justicia para reclamar: el estigma que persigue a los líderes de restitución de tierras en el Urabá antioqueño

Abstract

The emergence of leaderships around the demand for the right to land in Colombia, consistent with the punishment and the elimination thereof, are a series of phenomena that have been evident throughout the armed conflict in our country. However, this problem has been gradually consolidated, potentiated and even normalized since the issuance of Law 1448 of 2011, the Victims and Land Restitution Law. There is an intimate relationship between the so-called "agrarian conflict" and "the armed conflict", which we can account for in the initial review of the state of the art on the subject. (UNDP, 2011. p. 186) On the one hand, the conflict over land tenure, became one of the determining factors for the emergence and development of the armed conflict, which has been called by some authors as “the unresolved agrarian problem ”(Machado, A. 2009. P. 115); On the other hand, territorial control by armed and civil actors indirectly related to the conflict, is one of the main strategic elements of the armed confrontation, which guarantees benefits of a political, economic and military nature for those who manage to establish their power in said territories.
