VALDIVIESO COLLAZOS, Andrés Mauricio. Transitional Justice in Colombia: International Standards of Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law in the Policy of Santos. Pap.polit. [online]. 2012, vol.17, n.2, pp.621-653. ISSN 0122-4409.

This article analyses the Colombian historical behavior facing the Human Rights regime; the tensions that had been produced by the armed conflict and that had impeded the Colombia's compliance of the Human Rights international standards; the relation between the transitional justice instruments in Colombia and the Human Rights international standards; the incidences of the state actors, the international organizations and the global civil society actors for the adoption and compliance of the juridical international instruments. Finally, it analyses the Victims and the Lands Restitution law as a government attempt not just to repair the damage suffered by the victims of the armed conflict, but to improve the internal adhesion to the international standards of the HR and the IHL.

Keywords : Transitional Justice; International Regime; Armed Conflict; Human Rights; International Humanitarian Law.
