Synopsis

One of the biggest challenges facing Colombian society is related to the existence of historical punitive models built within one of Latin America’s longest internal armed conflicts. The other challenge is related to the presence of institutional issues resulting from the new governmental apparatus, which was developed in the transitional model, and which claims other non-punitive and vertical forms of justice.

This text outlines in its thematic horizon the challenge raised by the demands for justice and the institutional incorporation of new ways of repairing the damages caused by an armed conflict of more than 60 years.

Similarly, the signing of the peace agreement (on September 26, 2021) between one of the oldest active guerrillas in the continent and Juan Manuel Santos’ government, within the context of the transitional period resulting from such agreement, raises a series of questions related to the transformations in the violence dynamics, the changes associated with the social processes affected by the war, and the transformations experienced by the victims of war.

Keywords: Instrumentalization of violence, organized crime, penal populism in Latin America, dismantling of prisons
