Agresiones Sexuales Como Arma de Guerra en el Conflicto Armado Colombiano, Hacia una Política Criminal Terapéutica

Abstract

Questioning the human being has been one of the great enigmas in history. It has been considered the superior living being par excellence; however, this perfect being is a process of constant construction, perfecting itself with each moment. Yet, it is considered that there are actions that paradoxically show that, rather than evolution, it is an involution. In fact, one of the mechanisms that allows us to reach this conclusion is generated by confrontations between its own kind, where it destroys and self-destructs.

After tracing the evolutionary path of war and the existence of sexual assaults within this social phenomenon, the focus was placed on sexual assaults within the framework of the Colombian armed conflict, specifically regarding the profile of sexual aggressors, in order to carry out an analysis on the existence of a criminal policy in Colombia, related to proposals for reeducation processes with demobilized individuals from the armed conflict.

To achieve this, the main focus was on studying sexual assaults used as a weapon of war within the framework of the Colombian armed conflict, to determine whether the motive presents variables, with the aim of establishing behavioral patterns of sexual aggressors. This circumstance led to a deeper analysis of the issue to clarify Colombian criminal policy with a therapeutic, preventive, and resocializing approach.
