Marsella y vereda Beltrán, Risaralda, un ejemplo de construcción de paz en el marco del posacuerdo

Abstract

In the 90s, as a result of the expansive violence between paramilitaries, drug cartels and military forces throughout the Colombian territory, the rivers were used as a tool for forced disappearance. That caused that the people who lives near to the river, see bodies flowing through the river, one of these places was vereda Beltrán in Risaralda. There, the habitants decided to pick them up and take them to their municipal cementery, and they began a process of identification and dignification of the victims.

This research seeks to highlight those humanitarian actions that are very important in the current post-agreement context that crosses the country. This, we search to do through the creation of a Memory Center in the House of Culture of Marsella, in order to contribute to the visibility of humanitarian actions and the appropriation of the habitants about these acts. Likewise, this is a project to teach the new generations what happened as an explicit request of non-repetition and an example of building peace.

Throughout this report there will be a tour of the history, the purposes of the research, the theoretical concepts, the methodology used, the viability aspects, evidences and conclusions.
