Valoración de la indemnización administrativa a las víctimas del conflicto armado en Colombia (2011-2022)

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze the measure of comprehensive reparation through administrative compensation to victims of the armed conflict in Colombia, as established in Law 1448 of 2011. The analysis will focus on identifying both the strengths and weaknesses of the actions undertaken by the Colombian State in the last 10 years around this. The research method developed in this study is qualitative in nature. Regarding the type of research, a descriptive approach has been chosen. To enrich and contrast the information collected, an exhaustive search and review of various documentary sources was carried out, including relevant national and international jurisprudence, applicable Colombian regulations, and related research articles. The purpose of this triangulation of sources was to systematically identify the main nodes or critical points that have hindered the implementation of the mechanism of comprehensive reparation to the victims of the armed conflict in Colombia through administrative compensation. Finally, this approach will provide a completer and more well-founded overview of the progress, challenges, and opportunities for improvement in the effective application of this reparation measure. The findings of this study lead to analyzing and questioning whether the actions taken by the Colombian State during the last 10 years have been sufficient for the victims of the armed conflict to effectively access administrative compensation. Furthermore, this analysis will identify both the progress made and the remaining opportunities for improvement in the implementation of this reparation mechanism. In this way, recommendations can be formulated to strengthen and make the administrative compensation more accessible as a fundamental tool that allows comprehensive reparation to the victims of the armed conflict in Colombia.
