Indemnización administrativa para las víctimas de desplazamiento forzado: una mirada desde la legislación colombiana y la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos

Abstract

Contemporary approaches to reparation for victims of armed conflicts revolve around the concept of comprehensiveness, that is, giving victims not only material compensation, but also recognition, a request for forgiveness, justice, in other words, it is about putting the victim in the situation and conditions in which he/she was prior to the victimization event. In Colombia, comprehensive reparation is far from having a successful application and millions of Colombian victims of the conflict, and in particular of forced displacement, are still waiting for it, this work has analyzed administrative compensation in particular with the purpose of establishing its coherence. With the line given by the Inter-American Court, finding that although an effort has been made by the state, it is far from what was proposed by said Court, it was also desired to establish its material contribution in comprehensive reparation, finding that its contribution is minimal and even shameful that the State has only been able to give some compensation to one out of every 10 victims. Finally, this research concluded that its contribution to comprehensive reparation and the inclusion of victims is materially insufficient.
