The Special Court for Peace (JEP), the Transitional Criminal Tribunal for Judging the most serious crimes committed during the armed conflict in Colombia, entered in 2002 and 2008 with more than 6,400 victims of “false positives” and “false positives” with the knowledge of civilian assimilations by military personnel for presenters such as combatants in combat. It is a figure that triples the 2,248 that were reportedly reported by the Fiscalía in its information.

“The JEP establishes that at least 6,402 people were killed illegally to be presented as victims in all the national territory between 2002 and 2008”, signaled this year the Verdad Reconciliation Hall of the High Court, secured by the court, to make public the strategy of prioritization of 03, related to the false positives. These crimes, mainly perpetrated during the term of office of former President Alvaro Uribe (2002-2010), the most opposed to the FARC negotiations, are seen as a permanent source of employment in a company that seeks to double the value of the page. .

As part of the process for dimensioning the phenomenon of extrajudicial evictions, the tribunal has contrasted a huge volume of information that includes four data bases. The figures of the Oral Penal System of the Public Prosecutor’s Office (SPOA), the Judicial Information System of the Fiscal Office (SIJUF), the Observatory of Memory and Conflict of the National Center of Historical Memory (CNMH) and the Coordinación Colombia Europa Estados Unidos (CCEEU) to the magnitude of the crime investigated by the JEP ”, the High Court said. “Without embarrassment, the official and non-governmental districts identify the period 2002 to 2008 as the mayor’s number of victims. The result is that during this stage 78% of the total historical victimization is recorded ”.

The first phase of investigation, detailed by the JEP, is concentrated in six territories of the country: Antioquia, Norte de Santander, Huila, Casanare and Meta, as well as the Caribbean coast. Three of these victims are presented in 10 of Colombia’s 32 departments, which include all of the priori territories. The voluntary versions that he brought some involved in the 03, which addresses the “illegitimate deaths presented as being combated by State agents”, he details the press release to obtain results in exchange of compensation.

“Hasta que el ejcito sea sea honesto y cuente la verdad, es vergonzoso pero iran aparisigande más fosas comunes com de la Dabeiba con nuestros hijos, esposos padres y seres queridos que een dia salieron para na volver”, reaction in his social speeches Luz Marina Bernal, one of the founders of the Madras de Soacha, a movement of victims’ families of false positives. His message refers to the executions he carried out on the JEP in the Catholic cemetery of Dabeiba, a mountainous path to a quarter of Medellin’s, in the north-east of Colombia, where he recovered a number of extrajudicial precautionary measures.

Four years ago by the peace agreement firm between the State and the extinct guerrilla movement of the FARC, Colombia is involved in the first judicial decisions on the subject of more than half a dozen armed conflict. Last week, the JEP imposed on the dome of the Colombian Revolutionary Forces – high disarmed and converted in the political party rebuilt like the Communes – a series of war crimes and read humanitarian relations with the next, one next more crueles and repudiadas. This unpublished imputation is produced in the mark of case 01, which touches on the “tome of rehenas and grave privations of the free time committed by the FARC-EP”.

The sequel is the most advanced of the large-scale processes – the ‘macrocasos’ – that have already had transitional justice, and imputation is considered its first major result. El 03, “Illegitimate deaths presented as baits by combat agents of the State”, is the most advanced macrocase, in which a car of determination and behaviors will be hoped for in 2021.

The JEP, considered the vertebral column of the peace accords, was obliged to navigate in the middle of the polarization that characterized the Colombian society of the dialogues of La Habana, and advances in its searches for the multiples of obstacles. The tribunal of peace privileges the entire world, and establishes alternative penalties to the prisoner in which those involved confess their crimes and repair the victims. Together with the Commission of the Verdad and the Unity of Personnel Search for Disappearances, the JEP forms part of the Integral System of Verdad, Justice, Repair and No Repeated Surgery of Agreements, which has taken into account the robustness of the response of the international community .

The system, without embarrassment, has been the target of attacks by President Uribe, political mentor of Ivan Duque and founder of the Center for Democracy, Gobierno’s party. Uribe, who insists on derogating the JEP and modifying the agreements, considers the decision of these Jews as a “new atrop of the JEP for false positives” in a statement published on its account of Twitter. “Never has justice been served, which has been treated by my person much to the detriment or by the substitutes who have less suspicious behavior”, signaled the executor, who was summoned to his scene in the Senate to initiate a process of testifying.
