Abstract

This research aims to give a special look at the realization of restorative justice as a concept and how in practice it is really fulfilling the promise of truth, justice and reparation for the victims of the armed conflict, through a collection of information corresponding to the commitments of the perpetrators towards the victims of the armed conflict, with the aim of evidencing the reality of compliance with them; under the standards and criteria promised in the peace agreements, and in this way answer the question that allowed the development of this investigation, consisting of determining yes, does restorative justice in the Special Justice for Peace guarantee the rights of victims? of the internal armed conflict in Colombia? And in this regard, it was determined that there is a guarantee of the rights of the victims to the extent possible; that in order to close this chapter, negotiations must be carried out and burdens shared, in such a way that no one leaves without taking responsibility for their actions, likewise, it is necessary to specify that the internal armed conflict not only leaves its mark on civil society but also on the economy, culturally and politically it generates important changes that create prejudices and predisposition to a series of thoughts or behaviors; which implies that although society is regulating itself automatically, the truth is that there is a necessary pedagogical and psychological need for all the people involved in these events to understand the dimension of what they suffered and manage to overcome it to some extent. Thus, the peace agreement has had many successes in its development as well as failures, since there are still victims and perpetrators who are dissatisfied with the options that the JEP has proposed to solve and provide justice, truth and reconciliation; however, it is important that they are aware of the scope of restorative justice and its differences with ordinary criminal justice, which does not work in transition situations such as the one in which our country is immersed.
