El derecho internacional y la figura de la amnistía en el caso Colombiano

Abstract

Colombia is a country that has long suffered from the evil of war, having been born into republican life with a conflict brought from across the ocean after the Spanish conquest, which imposed its customs on a hitherto flourishing nation, which did not know the evils of the old continent. Since then, constant conflicts have been the way in which history has been in charge of forging the country that is known today. There were many wars, but it was after Gaitán's death that a historical period known as violence began, culminating in the pact between liberals and conservatives known as the National Front. However, what seemed to be a solution to the conflict, ended up triggering what had been brewing since the period of violence, that is, the formation of guerrilla groups, composed of liberal peasants, ready to counter the official government by using of arms, which constituted the appearance of a new actor and therefore the emergence of an internal armed conflict.
