Abstract

This article argues that the Colombian legal framework, and specially the Law of victims and restitution of lands (Law 1448 of 2011), satisfies the requirements of the Inter-American Human Rights Commission and Court about the reparation of victims from an internal conflict. However, the persistence of the conflict in Colombia, constrains the success of the implementation of the measures of reparation. It is especially true with regards of the restitution of lands to the victims. Also, a series of recommendations are presented to contribute to solving the problems.
