Reparation as a fundamental right in Colombia

This work gives an account of the structural elements traced by the doctrine on the nature, content and foundation of a fundamental right in order to establish if it is correct to speak of reparation as a fundamental right within the Colombian legal order, trough the which the victims can enjoy the necessary legitimacy to claim from the State or from third parties positive actions that allow the effective realization of a minimum sphere of dignity, survival or self-determination. To achieve this objective, the requirement of the doctrine will be compared with the normative provisions expressed in the jurisprudence of the high courts, legislation and administrative actions through which the notion of victim has been defined in the context of the internal armed conflict and have defined the administrative. Judicial and symbolic means of reparation to which they are entitled; and that it is necessary to know and publicize with the aim of investing with a greater sphere of legitimacy the legal and political processes through which Colombian society moves from war to peace
