This will be an investigation disconnected from political evaluations and judgments, since it is not about reliving the atrocities of the war, but rather experimenting from the academy and a scientific approach, the progress made so far and the goals to be achieved, as agreed by the government. of Colombia and the irregular group in point 4 of the "Final Agreement for the termination of the conflict and the construction of a stable and lasting peace", in which the economic and social rights are framed for the full development of the communities and, thus provide them with the necessary guarantees and security conditions, including a “demining program” (p.106), which is part of transitional justice processes, compliance and verification of international and national agreements, as well as the commitment delivery of arms of members of the irregular armed group
