PRADA-SANMIGUEL, Alberto. Understanding the political responsibility of armed actors in the Colombian armed conflict: The El Salado Massacre (2000). Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2016, vol.14, n.2, pp.1537-1548. ISSN 1692-715X. https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.14244010915.
This article highlights the methodology, findings and results of a study carried out to understand the responsibility of the actors from the Colombian internal armed conflict in the events that led to the El Salado massacre, which occurred in February 2000. In an ongoing dialogue between the facts, the actors and their testimonies and based on the significant contribution of Arendt’s theory, this study analyzes the responsibilities of actors - through either direct or indirect actions or omissions - in the events that took place in El Salado and the corresponding criminal attributions. As a result, this article seeks to provide different conclusions that reveal and make visible what happened through a variety of areas; that the object of understanding responsibility specifically lies in the actions of the victimizer; raising awareness from the private to the public sphere; facing the historical reality of the massacre through a flexible and open trial; and providing a balance between what happened, its determinants and the repercussions that followed.
