Colombia: entre la guerra y la paz

Abstract

The history of the armed warfare and of the several attempts that had been done in order to get the peace in Colombia, show us that the causes of our conflicts had been diverse and that the insurgent warfare had changed with the years, consequently, the peace only can be reached if the deep reasons that were the source of the armed warfare are taken into account and an adequate solution is sougth for them. The issues of merely legal technic like the scope of the concept of Political Crime, the determination of the connected offenses that could be object of an Amnesty or the competence of the International Criminal Court, are relatively easy to surmount, but if the causes that had been the origin of the present insurgent groups, are not eliminated or moderated, the amnesties only will get a momentary quantitative decrease of the problem , but they will not get that the rebel groups disappear from the National stage.
