ATEHORTUA-ARREDONDO, Clara Inés. Protection of Urban Lands: Advances in Medellin’s Public Policy. Estud. Socio-Juríd [online]. 2010, vol.12, n.2, pp.247-272. ISSN 0124-0579.

The problem of land ownership protection in this country is an issue that must be faced by those who have as part of their responsibilities the recognition, the restitution and the reparation of victims of forced displacement. One of the points that must be analyzed is the protection of ownership of urban lands, a subject falling under municipal responsibility. The development of a public policy by the City of Medellín for the protection of such lands is a significant advance for the creation of protocols and for the return of rights to those who have adandoned their lands because of violence or who have been divested of their homes in urban areas.

Keywords : Protection of urban lands; forced intra-urban displacement; public policy.
