Las prácticas genocidas y los crímenes contra la humanidad en Colombia

From a socio-legal, historical and critical perspective of human rights, this work seeks to understand the phenomena involved in crimes against humanity and genocidal practices in the Colombian context. For the above, recourse is had to, on the one hand, a doctrine of public international law; and, on the other, to the contributions of critical studies on genocide. The latter is given special consideration due to the Latin American historical context. Subsequently, the applicability of the categories exposed to two specific cases is examined: the Unión Patriótica or Patriotic Union (late 20th century and early 21st), and social leaders in the post-agreement (2016). It is concluded that the extermination of the political movement Unión Patriótica has significant elements of both crimes against humanity and genocidal practices; while the case of social leaders is understood in terms of crime against humanity
