VALENCIA LONDONO, Paula Andrea. Challenges of the Post-Conflict Regarding the Humanitarian Response: Between the Persistence of the Humanitarian Consequences and the Limitations to the Mandate of Humanitarian Actors. Opin. jurid. [online]. 2020, vol.19, n.38, pp.179-200. ISSN 1692-2530.  https://doi.org/10.22395/ojum.v19n38a9.

The peace agreements between the Colombian government and the Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces- People’s Army (FARC-EP) was signed in 2016. Despite it being a historical milestone and constituting an important step in the search for a negotiated end to the armed conflict and a decreasing of violence, it has brought with it a social and political destabilization with multiple human rights violations as an outcome, both in rural and urban areas. These are expressed in the persistence of humanitarian consequences that even though they are no longer derived from a non-international armed struggle but a confrontation between illegal armed forces linked with organized crime, are a clear expression of the impact of the armed struggle in the civilian population. On multiple occasions, these consequences have reached levels comparable to those of the phenomena of an armed struggle. Nonetheless, the humanitarian response protected by the normative spectrum of the IHL is more limited every day, which makes it one of the main challenges of this phase of the post-conflict.

Keywords : humanitarian action; post-agreement; armed violence; risk management.
