Conflicto Armado en Buenaventura, los Mecanismos de Reparación Estatal y la Resiliencia de los Miembros de la Fundación Social Dios Proveerá

Abstract

Buenaventura has been one of the territories most affected by the armed conflict over the years. Its geographical position, wealth and having the most important port in the country, makes it a strategic area for the economic activities of armed groups, whose presence has brought violence to the corners of the District for more than 40 years. To counteract, the impact on the people, by constitutional duty the State is obliged to guarantee the dignity of all Colombians and likewise that each one has full access to their rights. For this reason, institutions have been legislated and formalized in order to repair, restore rights and guarantee the non-repetition of violent acts to the victims. However, the high rates of care subjects and the precarious living conditions of the residents of the port have led foundations, social organizations and community councils to be in charge of counteracting the effects of State abandonment and war.

This document is a journey through the history of this city conflict and an approach to the reparation mechanisms currently implemented by the State in Colombia and Buenaventura, but which the population itself has not known. In addition, it is also a report on how inhabitants of Commune 11 and members of the Fundación Social Dios Proveerá, perceive their territory, the initiatives of the State to restore their rights, their lives through the conflict and how they have resisted and will recover from it.
