Ineficiencia administrativa en la implementación del acuerdo de paz de 2016 - impactos en la garantía de derechos humanos y reconfiguración del conflicto armado en Colombia

Abstract

The signing of the Final Agreement to End the Conflict and Build a Stable and Lasting Peace in 2016 marked the culmination of historic commitments by the Colombian State to bring an end to armed violence and to guarantee respect for human rights. However, the limited scope and effectiveness of its implementation have affected the measures adopted. This research analyzes the administrative challenges, focusing on the lack of planning, coordination, and execution of the Agreement’s provisions, as well as the consequences of these shortcomings for the protection of civilians in areas that have been historically affected by the conflict. The study first examines the historical context of the conflict and the nature of the commitments assumed by the State, and then analyzes the poor administrative performance that has contributed to the persistence of phenomena such as the reconfiguration of armed groups, the resurgence of forced displacement, and the increase in violations of fundamental rights. In addition, case studies are conducted in prioritized regions in order to identify recurring patterns and institutional gaps that hinder the construction of peace. Taking these considerations into account, this proposal seeks to focus on strengthening the State’s administrative capacity, improving the management of programs derived from the Agreement, and, in turn, safeguarding the rights of the most vulnerable communities. Ultimately, the objective is to provide critical and constructive reflections that contribute to improving the implementation of public policies in the post-conflict context.
